itemprop=description content=North Lanarkshire Council has encountered some problems with its plans to expand cemetery provision for several communities.
The council has been working to increase cemetery capacity at several locations, most urgently in Wishaw, Coatbridge and Airdrie, but a new report has highlighted various issues including rising costs and a lack of available land.
In order to mitigate the risk of space running out in the meantime, it is planned to create an additional 600 lairs on the existing cemetery by changing the current landscaping design, removing shrubs and trees. Councillor Kirsten Larson asked if the land in Morven Street currently earmarked for cemetery use would be sold off four housing if deemed unsuitable for its intended use. It was stated that the land would be declared surplus to requirements through the usual channels.
