Hi all

As always many many thanks to our supporters and sharers - let's keep going!

Just a quick n easy reply tonight as visiting family and being social rather than attached to my phone but we are discussing and sharing  ideas re this issue. If you have any ideas, worries or related information you want to share or just want to chat about you can find us on nextdoor.

You may remember on the 8th February we shared with you the minutes of the council meeting which reviewed the cemetery rules:

We have since discovered there is actually a webcast of that meeting - for those who prefer a different format. It doesn't have all of the discussion re rules (presumably for GPDR reasons but we can't be sure). It does have very interesting insights into finances for monitoring cemetries and indeed methods for doing so - one quite innovative. Discussion relates to targeted education where they concentrate on cemetries with issues as they don't have the staff or money for this level of monitoring in all Edinburgh council cemetries.

Please see our post from 12 February which shares what the current rules are and various contacts if you wish to report breaking of the cemetery rules.

Many thanks to the other petition for an update. They also post advice re dyslexia, we'll write a proper reply soon but wanted to acknowledge these posts.
