Cemetery gates to close at night
Powys County Council will start from January 3 due to the unauthorised parking, including residents using it, which has had an impact on funerals.
Cllr John Powell, Cabinet Member for Cemeteries, said: “We have had incidents where motorhome-type vehicles have parked within the cemetery for several days without moving.
“Hearses have struggled to enter and exit the cemetery on days when a funeral is taking place because cars have parked along the edge and on the turning circle while mourners are having to park a considerable distance away due to nearby residents parking at the cemetery.
“All these incidents have meant that we have been left with no option but to close the gates to Maesgwastad Cemetery overnight. This will start in the New Year.”
