SOLIHULL Council is set to introduce new guidelines at Woodlands Cemetery following concerns about “excessive” decorations being left at graves.
The local authority has insisted that bereaved relatives
will still be able to adorn memorials with vases, flags and other items.
But following complaints from some visitors, they plan to bring in clearer regulations about the size
and position of the personal items.
They say this is to ensure other families are able to access all parts of the site and that groundsmen can carry out the necessary maintenance.
The regulations would also apply to the two other council-run cemeteries, at Widney Manor and Robin Hood.
People have until June 12 to give their view on both these proposals and additional changes being proposed to the cremation service. Feedback will help to shape the new policy, with councillors expected to make a decision later this year.
