Closure warning for visitors to part of cemetery

Oaston Road Cemetery will be partially closed between 4-18 August

Visitors to a Warwickshire cemetery are being warned part of it will be fenced off for two weeks for repair works.

People will not be able to get to memorials, urns and benches in the old garden of remembrance area and some parts of the Rose Lawn at Oaston Road Cemetery, Nuneaton, the borough council warns.

Some of the memorials could also be temporarily moved from their paving slabs so the slabs can be re-laid but they will be put back, a spokesperson added.

The work is starting on Monday and due to finish on 18 August.

The repairs were needed to keep the cemetery "at its best and safe for visitors", councillor Brady Hughes said.

"We apologise for any inconvenience caused. We thank you for your patience at this time," she added.
