Vehicle access at council cemeteries

Parking on all cemetery roads is not permitted at any time, unless one of the following applies:

  • you hold a valid blue badge and can park without blocking the road for council maintenance vehicles
  • you are a registered stonemason who has the approval of the bereavement services team to erect or remove a memorial

Cemetery gates close up to one hour prior to a burial and only reopen once the service has finished.

Pedestrian access remains open to all visitors.
