Shropshire Council is responsible for the maintenance of St Barnabus Closed Cemetery in Hengoed. The Parish Council has received a complaint that the grass hasn't been cut. Please see attached photograph. The headstones can barely be seen. There are not even any paths cut through the grass so that visitors can pay their respects to their loved ones. The lack of maintenance also creates a health and safety issue as visitors can't see any trip hazards as they walk around the cemetery. Please arrange for the grass to be cut as a matter of urgency.
