Due to legal advice and guidance the Parish Council will no longer be able to fund the maintenance of the Burial Ground in Bosbury or donate to the upkeep of the Community Area in Coddington until such a time as the matter is resolved by Central Government.
The PC long believed it owned the Burial Ground but has recently found out this is not the case.
They sincerely hope that the law can be clarified as soon as possible so that a way forward can be found.
Please see the attached guidance received from NALC on this ruling by way of explanation.
The Parish Council appreciate that this is disappointing news but hope you understand that they are bound in law by what it can and cannot fund.
VERY interested to see this. As Fownhope Parochial Church Council has suffered a similar fate. I’ve been campaigning about this for a couple of years: including getting a question asked in the House of Commons: see http://bit.ly/MoJ-LGA1972-s214.
Do get in touch if you would like to know more.
Hi Christopher. Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately I have gone round in circles in trying to get clarification from anyone!
