Brandwood End Cemetery emergency access

Friday 22nd May

Following my entry a few weeks ago about the fire at Brandwood End Cemetery I have got a response from the council. The trees which were alight have now been removed and the memorial kerbstones returned to the grave spaces to which they relate. We are currently in the process of arranging a 24 hour emergency contact number for display on the cemetery gates in order that keyholders within Bereavement Services can be raised where necessary. The cemetery fencing is currently being replaced in parts and we are planning to install CCTV at key points in the cemetery during this financial year. It is anticipated that these two security measures will reduce the volume of incidents of vandalism/ unauthorised access within the cemetery.
