The St James Cemetery will be upgraded soon,Minister of the Environment Dr Denis Lowe, told Trakker News the upgrading of the cemetery is expected to last between six and eight months.
Lowe said the St James's Cemetery is in need of radical refurbishment, as the chapel is not in the best of condition. The Minister praised the contributions of the Maria Holder Trust for assisting the Government with the resources to carry out the upgrade, he stressed that the presentation of the gravesites and their surroundings needed to be enhanced.
Lowe explained that the Government, at the request and the expense of the deceased person's family erected structures around gravesites.
"Those structures were later abandoned, leaving the area untidy and unkempt", he added.
