🏟️ A beloved community field in Overton, Wrexham might soon make way for 178 new burial plots as part of a cemetery expansion. For years, this patch of land has been a haven for football enthusiasts and dog walkers alike. However, Overton Community Council has identified it for cemetery extension to provide more space for grave sites and a peaceful Garden of Remembrance.
The field sits conveniently between the current cemetery, on Church Road, and St Mary’s Avenue, as well as the Overton and District Bowling Club. But here’s the twist: nobody knows who owns the land! Overton Community Council claims that despite various checks, there’s no registered owner. They believe the land has always been intended for cemetery expansion, which is crucial for ensuring locals have a spot to visit and remember loved ones.
The conversation around this proposal has been lively, with some locals arguing the field offers much-needed recreational space. The planning decision is expected by December 22. What are your thoughts? 🏞️⚽🐾
