Operational Property Review - Cemetery and Crematorium

Report of the Director of Open Spaces.

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Open Spaces regarding the parts of the City of London Cemetery that had been highlighted as underutilised or surplus to requirement. The Superintendent of the Cemetery and Crematorium advised that the demolition of the South Gate Toilet Block would create space for 40-50 additional graves. He added that the demolition would cost £38,000 because the entire footprint of the block would be demolished and removed, including an underground septic tank. Members noted that the disposal of the parcel of land known as the Rabbits Road Bridge Plot would be considered by the Property Investment Board at a later date.

 

RESOLVED – That:-

a)    The demolition of the South Gate Toilet Block and the removal of the foundations to allow the land to be used for new graves, be approved; and

b)    The parcel of land known as the Rabbits Road Bridge Plot be declared surplus to the Open Spaces Department’s requirements and be presented to Corporate Asset Sub Committee.
