We do not want to remove flowers or items off our loved ones graves as this is disrespectful in our eyes to our family members who have passed away...

I have been reading the stories you are sharing about the mementos left for your family members and my heart breaks for all of us. The council remains silent regarding our concerns but your messages prove how much these tributes mean to our healing. I am currently preparing formal letters to send their way so they understand we will not let this policy stand.

Seeing so many of you join this battle proves that I am not alone in wanting to protect the final resting place of my family. It is heartbreaking to think of these graves being cleared and your support gives me the strength to keep fighting the council.

my daughter is there and it's very important for me to be able to buy her things, we always keep her area clean and maintained.
Different peoples have different ways and these should be respected as far as possible. Times are changing and perhaps Burwell Parish council should lead the way rather than impose an outmoded control.
inconvenience should never topple empathy! emotions aside these plots are paid for and as such it should be the families decision as to how they are upkeep.
copletly diagree with this, my grandfather is buried there, he loved his flowers and we take fresh flowers to his grave every week out of respect and memory of him! i should not have to stop showing respect and memory of him because of some silly rule!
its our Religion and belief to take a gift to a loved ones grave its been in our way of life for 100's of years! please dont take our Rites of belief away :(
have a heart and respect for those graves
My gran and grandad and most of my family are buried here this is a disgrace and very disrespectful to out family/family's, this is very upsetting let alone the hurt we have while visiting our loved ones it's a shame we have to remove everything we have got them. Very upsetting and the council should be ashamed :( :( :(
