Parish council seeks new cemetery
Published: Saturday | June 20, 2009
The Hanover Parish Council is seeking to identify lands to establish a cemetery to replace the Sandy Bay facility.
Mayor of Lucea, Lloyd Hill, said the parish council was in discussions with the National Housing Trust (NHT) to gain access to property it owns in Mosquito Cove and Jericho.
He said that lands in other adjoining areas were also being looked at for that purpose.
Hill indicated that once the appropriate lands had been identified, approval would be sought from the National Environment and Planning Agency for its use as a cemetery.
A stop order has been placed on burials at the Sandy Bay cemetery since June 1 because of a lack of space.
The order for the official closure of the cemetery will be gazetted.
