HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) — Wednesday marks two years since 4-year-old Codi Bigsby was reported missing from his home near Old Buckroe Road.
Today, community members plan to clean up Codi’s Fence, a spot that’s memorialized Codi since his disappearance.
The fence sits on Old Buckroe Road and surrounds the Hampton Soccer Park. The community has placed signs and stuffed animals on the fence to honor the boy.
“This means everything to me. It’s the last of Cody. It’s is. It’s where we do our events,” said Nancy Strickland, We Are Codi’s Voice.
In January, the city placed a notice on the fence saying all items must be removed by Feb. 5 or else it will get thrown out.
“It breaks my heart that we have to have to take it down,” Strickland said.
The notice sites park rules and regulations :
- All unattended property is presumed to be abandoned and may be removed and/or disposed of by the City.
- No person shall erect or construct any structure of any kind, install or perform any maintenance on any utility, equipment or other device on, below, over or across any park, unless directed by the Director of Parks, Recreation and Leisure Services.
