Mr
William Cornall, the Director of Regeneration and Place, presented
the Cemetery Improvements Update to the Committee.
Mr
Cornall highlighted to the Committee that:
·
Due to the overspend on
the capital fund for the car parking works, the project would need
to be re-profiled.
·
The car park expansion would be delayed to Phase
2.
·
As the staff welfare facilities were unlikely to be
in place until Autumn 2019, work had
been undertaken to improve the existing facilities, which included
a deep clean and new furniture.
In
response to a question from the Committee, Mr Cornall responded
that the Cemetery Lodge would be subject to an enforcement issue
for non-upkeep.
The
Committee thanked Officers for all their hard work on this project
and looked forward to the Chapel being renovated.
RESOLVED: That
1.
That the continued delivery of the Cemetery
improvements through a two phased approach be agreed.
2.
That the car park expansion be delayed until Phase 2
of the improvements.
3.
That £70,000 surplus income generated by
Bereavement Services and Grounds Maintenance in 2018/19
be used to support the remaining capital
budget for the project.
