Information about this open space

Torrisholme Cemetery carries out approximately 100 burials per year and is regularly visited by relatives and the general public.  A Management Plan has been produced to improve and develop the cemetery and implement the recommendations of the Cemeteries Task Group over the next 5 years.  A copy of this plan can be downloaded from www.lancaster.gov.uk/cemeteries The Management Plan recognises that cemeteries are an essential and high profile service area to the community.  It also recognises that the grounds within Torrisholme Cemetery are a natural resource that requires careful management if we are to maintain and promote its biodiversity.  The Management Plan also gives consideration to the future management and development of Torrisholme Cemetery to achieve the Green Flag Award criteria which are:- ·A welcoming site - How to create a sense that people are positively welcomed to the cemetery. ·Healthy, safe and secure - How best to ensure that the cemetery is a safe and healthy environment for all users. ·Well maintained and clean - What people can expect in terms of cleanliness, facilities and maintenance. ·Sustainability - How the cemetery can be managed in environmentally sensitive ways. · Conservation and heritage - The value of conservation and care of historical heritage. · Community involvement - Ways of encouraging community participation. · Marketing - Methods of promoting the cemetery and its environment. · Management - How to reflect all of the above in a coherent management plan and ensure it is implemented.  We will apply for the Green Flag Award in January 2008.
