Minutes:
The Committee considered a report on a change of rules and regulations for cemeteries and burial grounds.
The Group Head of Neighbourhood Services presented the report and explained the language in the rules and regulations had been updated for clarity, and wording in Paragraph 1.5 of the Regulations concerning access by dogs had changed to allow dogs to accompany their owners through cemeteries and burial grounds, provided they were leashed.
Other options considered and rejected by the Committee:
1) Do nothing.
2) To agree the wording changes but do not make changes to the relevant section in the new Rules and Regulations document at 1.5 and as detailed in 1.8 of the report.
The Committee resolved to agree the updated rules and regulations as set out in Appendix B of the report.
