Cemeteries now open to the public across Derry council area
A council spokeswoman says the waiver, introduced when restrictions around funerals were put in place here, will continue until it decides to lift them.
It’s a move that was agreed on Wednesday at a meeting of council’s Environment and Regeneration Committee.
All Derry City and Strabane District Council owned cemeteries remain open to the public daily from 2.30 pm to 9 pm.
They are not accessible in the mornings to allow for funerals to take place and to facilitate necessary maintenance works.
