Causeway Coast and Glens Council takes steps to extend Portstewart cemetery
Causeway Coast and Glens Council is to take steps to extend Portstewart’s cemetery.
Councillors at a meeting on June 30 approved a proposal for works to be initiated to secure land for the extension of the cemetery on the Coleraine Road.
A temporary reduction in the maximum number of burial plots that may be purchased within the cemetery – from three plots to two plots – was also approved.
This move is to help manage “the remaining burial capacity until the proposed cemetery extension becomes operational”.
