Cheshire East Council: Cemetery Strategy and Regulations (2019)

Cheshire East Council engaged specialist consultants to look at the current provision of burial space and project from the evidence whether the Council was providing adequate provision for the foreseeable future (30 years). They were also asked to assess the current Cemetery Regulations to ensure that they were still fit for purpose.
