‘Appalling’ conditions

Dear Editor:

RE: Cemetery condition, June 1.

I would like to add my thoughts to the letter from Libby Darroch about the condition of Belsyde Cemetery in Fergus.

Last summer I walked through the cemetery. The condition was appalling. Along the fence there are dug-up graves, holes into them and the head stones all over the place, fallen down or a hole pushed it to the side. This is the fence that backs unto the houses along Union Street. The holes are from animals because you can see the piles of earth from their digging.

I wrote a letter to Centre Wellington asking for them to tidy the whole cemetery as it needs work. I hope Libby’s letter works.

Lucy Dyment,
Fergus
