Warning sign plan for graves which break cemetery rulespublished at 08:02 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2017
Bereaved families who break strict Leeds cemetery rules could find a council warning sign planted on their loved ones' plot.
Leeds City Council says it wants to control displays of flowers and ornaments on graves at the Garforth and Guiseley cemetery extensions, the new cemetery at Kippax, and the non-lawned area at Whinmoor Cemetery.
A reminder letter "sympathetic to the loss of the bereaved family" should be sent before a sign is placed, a report for consideration by the council's Executive Board suggests, external.
The idea is expected to be backed by councillors later, with members also due to agree to recruit two new rangers who'll work with voluntary groups across the city's cemeteries.
