Brac’s cemetery needs to be assessed

An assessment of Cayman Brac’s future cemetery requirements is to be undertaken, the Legislative Assembly heard.

The Department of Environmental Health, along with District Administration, would determine if there was a need for new cemetery developments, including a proposed new one in Watering Place, Cayman Brac, Leader of Government Business Kurt Tibbetts told the House on Thursday.

‘After the assessment is completed, the Ministry will be in a better position to outline a proper cemetery development strategy that would comply with the necessary planning and other agency requirements and standards,’ he said.

Mr. Tibbetts was replying to a question from Sister Islands MLA Julianna O’Connor-Connolly.
