QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To ask the Chief Executive for an update the on Esker Cemetery and any plan for a columbarium and also any audit on numbers of grave plots that might be made available for purchase.

REPLY:

The proposed area under consideration for a Columbarium Wall in the vicinity of the Esker Lawns boundary has not been surveyed. The matter is still being examined.

The initial baseline survey of the area adjacent to the Beechpark boundary requires further assessment to factor in drainage requirements, vehicle movement, proximity to existing wall foundations before the number of plots can be confirmed. This work is ongoing.
