Agenda item

To receive and consider the report of the Maintenance & Environment Officer.

The Committee considered the report of the Maintenance & Environmental Services Officer regarding options for the introduction of a new pedestrian access at Tower Hill Cemetery. Clarification was given of the proposed location of the access and ownership of surrounding land.

It was emphasised that the proposal would allow a more convenient access for all site users. The committee noted that the new arrangements would not be a cut through and therefore should be used mainly by those accessing the site. It was requested that appropriate measures be put in place to ask people to show respect when using the area.

Recommended:

1. That, the new requested location for the pedestrian access be approved.

2. That, Officers be delegated to requote with contractors for the new path and access point.

3. That, Officers be delegated to agree a communications strategy for the project bearing in mind the negative feedback from the consultation process.
