Is this true? The space Renata mentions is only for about 300 burials - a drop in the Southwark bucket. Aren't there proposals afoot to find burial room for 5000? Where will the room for 5000 (!) burials come from? From our open and wooded areas of the Cemeteries. Will our cemeteries be completely destroyed? Did I read they want to expand burials in Nunhead Cemetery? We need to completely reconsider inner-London burials. Land is too scarce to waste it on the dead. Also - It is shocking that Southwark Council even considered (and I believe still considers) using Southwark sports fields for burials. I know Renata doesn't condone that. To destroy our children's future for the soon-to-be-ignored dead is completely amoral and must be rejected forever.

Will we regret destroying the woods of East Dulwich? The Council is to vote on 22nd June are destroy acres of lovely wood in Camberwell Old Cemetery - the size of 3300 graves - a huge area - for ugly ugly graves. I wrote about it. http://lewisschaffer.wordpress.com/2012/06/07/cutting-down-the-new-forest/
