Decision details

The Committee received and considered the report of the Operations and Estates Officer.  This updated members on the need to add an additional section (number 3) for family ashes, the wildflower meadow plans for the Windrush Cemetery, and faculty applications for memorial testing.  There were ongoing issues with the damaged St. Mary’s Church pillars and the archway.  The Operations and Estates officer also advised that the bat survey for the Cesar of Lebanon had been commissioned.

RECOMMENDED:

1.            that the report be noted;

2.         that Tower Hill section 3 for family ashes be prepared as detailed in the report;

3.         that 1kg of yellow rattle seed be purchased for £180 for the Windrush Cemetery and Earthwatch be asked if they have any wildflower seed they would donate;

4.         that Officers seek professional advice on the development of a plan for the future infrastructure and burials within Windrush Cemetery;

5.         that provision of £9, 000 from the budget be made in order for the Town Council to carry out the required repairs to St Mary’s churchyard pillars/arch and boundary wall from recent vehicular damage.
