PLANS for a cemetery near one of Keighley’s most popular beauty spots were always likely to spark controversy – and so it has proved.
Councillors have this week spoken out against the proposal for a privately-run graveyard close to Keighley Tarn.
You can see the attraction from the applicant’s viewpoint of having a cemetery in such picturesque surroundings. But questions have to be asked as to whether there isn’t a more suitable site.
With feelings running high, it is essential every aspect of the project is carefully examined to ensure the right decision is made for all concerned.
