Allotment land solution to burials

5:50am Sunday 5th July 2009

ALLOTMENT space could be turned in to burial land under proposals being outlined by a Hampshire council.

Ringwood Town Council wants to extend its cemetery on Hightown Road by using the adjacent allotment – and the scheme is being recommended for approval by planning experts.

A report due to go before New Forest District Council’s planning development control committee next week, said: “Extending the cemetery adjacent to the existing site is a practical solution to the need.”

Committee members will vote on the matter in Lyndhurst on July 8.
