Bruntcliffe Cemetery Improvement Plan

We have welcomed improvements at Bruntcliffe Cemetery following work to improve the footways. The work was completed following a campaign by Councillors to find the finance needed to undertake the improvements after they received concerns from families using the cemetery.

My colleague Cllr Judith Elliott says “I am pleased we have found the money needed to improve the footpaths across the cemetery. It has been difficult to identify the funds needed but a grant from Outer South Area Panel has meant we could get the work completed.”

Morley Town Council is also exploring using finance to improve Bruntcliffe Cemetery further once new funds from the Community Infrastructure Levy, a levy imposed on new development, start to be received.

Bruntcliffe Cemetery still needs some additional improvements and we are working with Bereavement Services to see what other help can be given.
