I HAVE just returned from yet another upsetting visit to tidy my husband's grave.
Years ago the Pleasington Cemetery in Blackburn was a pleasant place to visit but now it is not, apart from certain parts which are kept beautifully tidy.
The grave is only about three yards in from a roadway but the ground is so uneven and the grass about two feet high so that it is very, difficult for an elderly person to get from the road to the grave. We are told there is no money for more staff and when they do cut the grass the cuttings are just left.
May I be suggest that some of our fellow citizens who are "on the community service" following a misdemeanour could usefully be employed cutting and removing grass?
IRENE BRADLEY, Blackburn.
