Weymouth to continue 'living cemetery' rewilding policy (www.dorsetecho.co.uk)

A policy to allow grass and plants in Weymouth's cemeteries to grow to support wildlife and biodiversity will continue - but only just.

Town councillors were split on the issue - and it came down to the vote from the chairman of a committee to give the move the green light.

It comes after the environment and services committee discussed the Living Cemeteries rewilding policy following the results of a public consultation.

Littlemoor councillor Louie O'Leary echoed Cllr Dickenson's thoughts and said he was 'not in favour' of the policy and said cemeteries 'are not the place for this sort of thing'.

He added: "Can we not once just have somewhere that is sacred and doesn't have to bow to the pressure of modern pursuits of the eco agenda as it were."

Jesus Christ. Get fucked, Louie.
