Agenda item

To receive the report of the Deputy Town Clerk.

The  Committee received the report of the Deputy Town Clerk along with a verbal update on Cemetery matters.

Members received the minutes of the Friends of the Cemetries meeting held on 29 August 2023.

They also received the results of the council’s entry of Windrush Cemetery into the Cemetery of the Year award. Members noted the comments on judging and benchmarking and that officers would implement changes where they could. There were, however, some suggestions which weren’t in line with the Council’s polices so the Committee asked that improvements and suggestions be passed to the Friends of the Cemeteries group to discuss.

Resolved:

1. That, the report and verbal report be noted and,
2. That, Officers liaise with Friends of the Cemeteries to improve the Cemetery proposition where possible.
