Petition launched to call for land to extend cemetery
Residents in Wooler are being urged to sign a new petition calling for land to be allocated to extend the village's cemetery.
The churchyard at St Mary’s is already a closed site, while the current cemetery, on Burnhouse Road, is running out of room.
However, an opportunity to expand has arisen as the neighbouring site was vacated by Wooler First School when it moved to the Glendale Middle School site.

Hide AdA petition has been set up to obtain some of that site for an extension to the cemetery and it is now available in shops, churches and pubs in the village for residents to sign.
