To receive an update on cemetery capacity within the borough from the Group Head of Neighbourhood Services.

The Group Head of Neighbourhood Services presented the report which provided an update on cemetery capacity within the borough. She reported that the Council had recently undergone a full analysis to ensure all plots available at all cemeteries and burial grounds within the borough were recorded. As a result of this exercise, it was found that there was enough space to last for the next ten to fifteen years, but these numbers were reviewed periodically.

The Committee noted the timeline for future capacity for both burial and cremated remains as well as alternative options for burial sites.

The Committee resolved to note the update on cemetery capacity within the borough given by the Group Head of Neighbourhood Services.
