MOTION NO.19

MOTION: Councillor V. Casserly

That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive and the relevant Director of Services to make provision in the Programme of Works for the installation and upgrade of footpaths within Old Esker Cemetery. Improved pathways are essential to ensure safe, dignified, and accessible movement for all visitors, particularly older people and persons with disabilities, in line with our obligations under the Equal Status Act, the Disability Act 2005 & the UNCRPD Given the cemetery's significance to the local community, the Committee requests that this work be prioritised and delivered in a manner that enhances universal access and preserves the character of this historic site.

REPORT:

The upgrade of paths in Old Esker Cemetery will be listed for consideration for inclusion in the Draft Public Realm Improvement Works Programme 2026.  The draft IWP will be presented for the attention of the Elected Members at the Area Committee meeting in January 2026.
