CALLINGTON Town Council has taken the decision to widen some of the pathways in the town's cemetery.

As part of the council's cemetery review, improvements will be made to the curbing along some of the pathways in an effort to deter vehicles from driving on the grass.

Staff have put out markers where the new curbing will be positioned to give visitors an idea of what changes will be made.

Helen Dowdall, Callington Town Clerk, said: 'We were going to widen the paths anyway, but because of the recent damage to the grass verges caused by vehicles, we hope it will deter vehicles from driving on the grass.

'Staff have put up markers where the new curbing will be positioned and these will be in situ for a month, giving people the opportunity to appreciate the forthcoming changes.

'We are in the process of writing to the families that have a grave near the paths to let them know about the repair work.'

Work to widen the paths is expected to take place in May.
