Cemetery closed because of storm damage

Storm damage has forced the temporary closure of Fairpark Cemetery in Newquay.

One week on from Storm Goretti, Cornwall Council says the cemetery on Rialton Road has been closed due to safety concerns.

Council staff are on site removing fallen trees, assessing ground conditions and inspecting headstones for damage.

Members of the public are being asked to respect the closure while work continues, although the council says it is working with funeral directors to ensure planned services can still go ahead safely.
