Crematorium parking plan
Cheltenham crematorium is set to receive a £7.4 million revamp that will include additional parking for mourners.
Large funerals held at the facility have apparently been causing parking problems due to lack of space on the site. Roads near to the site have been widened where possible to provide extra spaces.
Now, according to the BBC, a 150-space car park will be included in the site with the building work not expected to begin before next year.
“We’re looking for a large car park somewhere in the region of 150 spaces,” said Councillor Chris Coleman, deputy leader of Cheltenham Borough Council.
“We’re making the best of what we’ve got at the moment but it isn’t good enough and we’re doing something about it.”
