Following a meeting with Bereavement Services Managers we understand that efforts are being made to find funds to remove the damaging shrubbery that seems to reappear on the brickwork of the Chapels. This is always a costly operation as it requires special equipment but it is hoped that it will, yet again, improve the appearance of the building and prevent further damage whilst we wait till restoration funding becomes more readily available.

The concept of a bespoke fence to surround the chapel area, rather than the existing  ‘builders fence’,  is being investigated as a measure to improve the overall appearance of this area when entering the cemetery.

 

 

 

Bereavement Services site staff are now cutting the grass surrounding the Chapel buildings and clearing weeds on pathways.

They are also involved in removing Ivy from graves, a project FBEC hope to continue to be involved in.
