The speed limit could be lowered on a west Cumbrian road that is at the centre of concerns about fast traffic. Highways experts are recommending a new 40mph limit be introduced on the Distington Crematorium route – the C4011 – which links villages such as Pica and Gilgarran. A report to county councillors says concern exists about “perceived high levels of fast-moving traffic” using this route.

Work to link a Worcestershire crematorium to a new swimming pool is due to begin. The controversial project will use heat from Redditch crematorium to warm the pool at Abbey Stadium Leisure Centre. Redditch councillors said it would save more than £14,000 a year and building work would take up to five weeks.

A FAMILY owned furniture manufacturer has completed a contract to fit out the first crematorium widely open to expatriates in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). As part of the £80,000 deal North Yorkshire based Treske Ltd made furniture for the new crematorium chapel at Al Foah, outside Al Ain, the fourth largest city in the UAE. It is the first crematorium in the city, which is home to 400,000 expatriates, and only the second in the UAE, with the other facility in Dubai subject to strict restrictions.

THE council is considering putting up the cost of funeral services by another 7 per cent. That is on top of the 10 per cent rise imposed in January. The move has been prompted by warnings that the community services budget is heading for a £125,000 shortfall. Increasing charges for the 1,700 services at the Park Wood Crematorium, in Elland, could raise £55,000 in a full year.

It is a process which has aroused controversy around the country, but a West academic believes that using heat from crematoria to produce electricity will soon become widely accepted. Dr John Troyer, from the University of Bath’s Centre for Death & Society, has been researching the possibility for more than a year and says that one day the heat could potentially produce enough energy to sell back to the National Grid.

Het wijkoverleg Zuid heeft zich achter de bezorgde bewoners van de Utrechtseweg geschaard, in hun strijd tegen de komst van een crematorium. Bovendien vindt het wijkoverleg het vreemd dat zij nooit op de hoogte zijn gebracht van de plannen. Dit heeft het wijkoverleg laten weten in een brief aan alle politieke partijen en het college van B&W. Net zoals de stichting Weesp tegen Crematorium vinden zij de plannen te massaal en niet passen in een weiland naast de Vecht. Ook ziet het wijkoverleg de plannen voor een aparte uitrit naar de N236 niet zitten. Zij zijn dan ook verbaasd dat de provincie in principe akkoord is met de nieuwe uitvalsweg.

THE state government has no power to stop the construction of a large crematorium, temple and dormitory complex at Greendale. Last month angry residents petitioned Planning Minister Brad Hazzard to request he overturn approval for the site at 992 Greendale Rd, Greendale, claiming it posed health risks and would disturb the semi-rural street.

CONTROVERSIAL application for a crematorium to be built at West Grinstead has been refused by a Horsham District Council planning committee. Members of the development control south committee heard at their meeting on Tuesday about the plans which proposed establishing a crematorium off the A272 Cowfold Road. Six people spoke for and against the development, with those opposed to the plans highlighting similar issues including concerns over traffic and if there was a need for one to be built in the countryside.

The borough council has recently completed major refurbishment works to Weymouth Crematorium. To mark the official re-opening, there will be an open day and re-dedication service at the Crematorium from 10am on Saturday 24 September. Government legislation means that where possible crematoriums must upgrade their inner workings to meet new environmental standards. Whilst this essential work was carried out, the council also made several improvements to the facility both inside and out, to make it more accessible and more welcoming for users.

TRAFFIC congestion and loss of ancient forest were among the concerns at a public consultation about plans for a new crematorium. Proposals for the multi-million pound crematorium went on display yesterday at Havant and Waterlooville Football Club. As reported in The News, The Southern Co-operative wants to build a state-of-the-art facility off Bartons Road, Havant.
