Cemeteries prepare for spring

Published: 19/01/2016

Cemeteries in Copeland are due for their regular maintenance to prepare the grounds for spring.

The work will take place from February 15 but there will be no impact on the public. The cemeteries will be tidied in order to prepare them for the grass cutting season.

An important part of the work is to remove Christmas wreaths and decorations - this allows for the disposal of unwanted or out-of-date decorations, and also means grounds staff can complete the tasks necessary to keep cemeteries in tip top condition.
