Nature recovery has its place but we must be respectful to those we’ve lost. The situation at Sidmouth Cemetery is not acceptable.
After pressure from local residents and myself, East Devon District Council are finally working on plans to properly maintain Sidmouth Cemetery.
They must do the same for other local cemeteries they are responsible for too, including in Sidbury and Seaton.
I want to pay tribute to Sidmouth Vision Group for their work in setting up a volunteering group to help manage the site where EDDC have failed so far, and to Jenny Ware’s steadfast campaign for our buried loved ones to be treated with more respect.
We will all be watching EDDC’s progress closely ➡️ https://eastdevon.gov.uk/news/2024/01/work-to-improve-sidmouth-cemetery…
