Decision details

The Committee gave consideration to a report that presented a summary of the Council’s cemeteries as at September 2019.  The report provided current information on the condition of the cemeteries including available lair space.  The report highlighted the need for a decision to either reduce the active (live) cemeteries or prioritise funding for cemeteries from the Capital Budget and extend the cemeteries providing more lair space.

Decision

The Environment, Development and Infrastructure Committee –

1.    Agreed that a community consultation is undertaken seeking views on the draft policies detailed in paragraphs 4.10 to 4.15 of the submitted report.

2.    Noted that a further report would be presented to Members detailing the consultation feedback and proposing a set of cemetery policies.
