A message from the Church Wardens of Holy Trinity Graveyards.We recognize that for some, there has been substantial distress, anger and frustration in the parish over the last few months because of the fact we have not cut the grass in all the graveyards as we used to. We may have caused some pain. If so, we apologize to all of you. Please can we assure you, and would you assure others, that this was not a cost cutting exercise. Yes, we do need more money to keep our church solvent, but this was done was because Lancaster City Council (LCC) produced its ‘Grassland Management Strategy’. This aims to become more environmentally friendly and as LCC cut the grass, we agreed to this new approach. We also have to recognise that the Church of England has set a target for all churches to become carbon neutral by 2030. We do not want conflict in the parish; indeed, our hearts desire is to see more people come to meet with God in our parish and church.Following further discussions with LCC the graveyard will be fully strimmed and cut starting from when the grass cutting team next visit, in 3 weeks’ time. We hope that this will meet the concerns voiced within the village. Peter John Davies, Mary Bunting. Church Wardens. ... See MoreSee Less
