The Cabinet members agree that:

Extension of Haycombe Cemetery:

This project is crucial to preserving burial spaces for the future and ensuring that the Council can continue to provide a local choice for residents of Bath and North East Somerset.

New mobile technology to support environmental enforcement:

This investment is necessary to ensure that enforcement with respect to environmental offences, such as litter and dog fouling, is effective and robust.

Consideration was given to delaying the extension to Haycombe Cemetery however in view of the critical need for burial spaces this was not deemed possible.
