Ormondvill­e Cemetery

-

The clean-up of Ormondvill­e Cemetery has been a big success, with grave sites now free from broken, overhangin­g trees. pLast winter we took out huge, old macrocarpa trees which were overgrowin­g grave sites and now the last of the clean up work has been completed,q said Peter

Sinclair, councilos Community Property and ’ssets

Manager.

The removal of the trees also creates more space for the expansion of the cemetery. pRecently weove been able to do fencing and reestablis­h grass and itos all tidy and looking good.q

Contractor­s had originally planned to complete the upgrade of the cemetery in March and ’pril, but the

Covid-19 lockdown prevented the work being carried out. pThe grass is still to grow, but weore very pleased with the new, tidy cemetery,q Sinclair said.
