Work is under way this week on further improvements to Hailsham Cemetery with the refurbishment of the Old Garden of Remembrance at the grounds in Ersham Road.

Following recent discussions by the Town Council's Assets Management Committee, councillors agreed to refurbish the Old Garden of Remembrance area of the cemetery, work which includes the removal of the existing beech perimeter hedge which has caused problems in the past due to heavy leaf drop.

All existing paths in the area will be re-laid using existing materials and the area of grass in the middle of the garden will be removed and offered to the community as new ashes interment plots. The burial area gained will release up to 100 ashes plots.
