Penarth Town Council has confirmed that they will reopen Penarth cemetery on a trial basis from Monday 11th May.

The details of the reopening have been detailed below.

They said: ''During this difficult time, it will be necessary for us to operate reduced hours under this trial and the cemetery will be open to visit the graves of loved ones on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between the hours of 10 am - 2 pm.

''We understand people's wish in the current pandemic to mourn and pay respects to those who remain dear to them.

''To ensure that this can continue, we ask all visitors to

exercise or dog walking.

''Please help us look after the cemetery by taking any waste materials home and please note that the toilets remain closed.

''For health and safety reasons, it will be necessary for us to close the grounds during a funeral.

''In current circumstances grounds maintenance has been scaled back and normal maintenance levels will resume when it is safe to do so.

''We hope that reopening the cemetery brings comfort and thank you for supporting us in keeping yourself and others safe.''
