Minutes:

The Chairman reported that at a recent meeting of the PCC it was agreed to close the churchyard to new burials. Reservations will be honoured but once the last plot has been used there will be no future burials. She noted that following closure the Town Council will no longer receive fees from interments.

The Chairman advised that the procedure may take up to two years but that it is hoped to get the relevant paperwork to the Town Council in the autumn after which the application will proceed to the Ministry of Justice. As there is sufficient cemetery provision in the area it is hoped that the application will proceed without any problems.

It was RESOLVED to note.
