The council confirmed today that they are installing CCTV in the cemetery. We forced them to take this seriously and protect the graves of our loved ones. Keep an eye on the installation progress and contact me if you see any delays.

A lot of bereaved people have been affected by vandalism in the Bishop Auckland town cemetery and by the deliberate desecration of graves. We are respectfully asking people to sign this petition for the installation of cctv cameras to help identify any wrongdoing. Thank you for your support

I am gathering accounts from families who have had their plots targeted so I can present a full report to the town council. Please email your local representative today to demand that they prioritize security at the cemetery site.

We need to hit the one hundred signature mark to show the council how many families are demanding security. Text this link to three people who live in Bishop Auckland and ask them to sign right now.

I’m signing this because as a grieving mother I know how it feels to have your Babies grave vandalised and No parents should have to deal with that on top of losing a child!!!

Too many graves have been vandalised and things have been stolen from graves! It isn't fair the cemetery is for people to rest not a play ground!

My mum is buried here and it's one of the most beautiful spots in Bishop Auckland and we should be able to take comfort in being able to lay our loved ones to rest and know it's a safe and secure area .
