Dover Town Cemeteries

A special exhibition on cemetery provision in Dover and proposals for a preferred new site in the Elms Vale area is being held on Monday 24 May at the Ark, Noah's Ark Road, Dover from 3pm-8pm.

The exhibition boards will also be on display at Council offices in Whitfield from 25 May to 2 June and available to view on Dover District Council's website at www.dover.gov.uk.

The public exhibition is being held by DDC as part of ongoing work to plan for the future development of the district. It will outline the range of issues involved, and a number of alternative sites that have been investigated, and will present details of the preferred site in the Elms Vale area (agricultural land adjacent to the Harbour School).

This follows extensive work with a range of partner agencies, and is being taken forward as cemeteries in Dover Town are gradually reaching capacity.

Representatives from DDC will be at the exhibition to discuss proposals and answer any questions from the public. All feedback will be taken fully into consideration before any decisions are taken. Any proposals would need planning permission and consultation, in keeping with all relevant planning legislation.
