Issue - meetings

The Bereavement Services Manager submitted a report that provided information on the progress of management plan projects and improvements.

It was noted that the repair work to the office building roof at the crematorium was underway, the ventilation project had gone out to tender and improvements to the pond and woodland walk area would commence in the summer.

The committee was advised that due to the necessity for extended opening times during the pandemic, it had become a more frequent occurrence that mourners leave the crematorium during hours of darkness. Therefore, a new lighting and CCTV plan was needed and would be presented to the next meeting of the committee for approval.

The Bereavement Services Manager explained to the committee that the process to procure a provider for music and media facilities within the chapel had taken place. A new supplier had been identified and the costs of replacement equipment were outlined.

RESOLVED –

1.      That the update on ongoing improvement projects is noted along with the identification of the potential to develop the public car park areas.

2.      That Delegated Authority be given to the Manager to approve spend of up to £25,000 for the replacement of Music and Media System for Chapel.
