Notice of Election has been published further to the two vacancies on Hertford Town Council in the Sele ward. For more information please see: Notice of Election-HTC.pdf 

Hertford Town Council has now completed memorial stability testing in the Cemetery.

Contractors, Cemetery Development Services, tested memorial headstones following Health and Safety guidance issued to all cemetery authorities.  This involves checking all of the headstones following “Managing the Safety of Burial Ground Memorials” issued by the Burials and Cemeteries Advisory Group (January 2009). 

Any headstone that has failed testing has been risk assessed to determine the best way of making it safe. Unsafe memorials near to high risk areas such as pathways will be cordoned off and if in danger of imminent collapse, and in the worst case laid down. Warning signs are displayed advising cemetery users.
