Why complain?

With all the things that are going on in the world and in this country, why complain about a cemetery that has been there for years, far longer than the houses at Timberleys?

When those people purchased their houses, I’m sure their solicitor would have made them aware of the boundaries of the cemetery.

Arun District Council does a really good job of maintaining the cemetery, it’s just a pity that members of the public do not respect it – they steal lights from the graves and let their dogs loose to go to the toilet on the graves. We have had to clear up the mess three times on our darling daughter’s grave, recently.

My husband and I have met quite a few people who live in Timberleys and who have family members laid to rest in the cemetery, and they say it’s a great comfort for them to be so close to them.

Don’t worry about the dead being at the bottom of your garden, worry about the living. As this expansion if five years away, it will give the complainers five years to sell their houses.
