Cemetery Management Rules 2022
Results updated 22 Aug 2022
On 16 August 2022, the Culture and Communities committee was presented with a report on the outcome of this consultation.
The committee members agreed to accept the recommendations in the report. They further agreed to review the number of walled or fenced greenspaces in the City, including those which permitted dog walking, and to update the Council's website accordingly; to establish a short life working group to discuss ways to better educate members of the public about the importance of cemetery spaces and their purpose; and to receive an update from officers in September 2023 with respect to compliance, complaints and any enforcement action in relation to the new cemetery management rules.
