South Bristol Cemetery Expansion

Decision Maker: Director: Development of Place

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

There is limited remaining burial space at South Bristol Cemetery. This project development work is necessary so that Cabinet can make an informed decision in 2020 on how to best progress with proposals to expand South Bristol Cemetery.

Decision:

To undertake initial design work and technical studies for the expansion of South Bristol Cemetery.

Alternative options considered:

The other option would be to run out of burial spaces meaning Bristol residents would have more limited burial options and greater reliance on the private sector offer. It is important for the Council to be able to offer burial provisions to its residents at an accessible price, with the income generated supporting delivery of services provided by the Council.
