PLYMOUTH Road cemetery is set to re-open next month following extensive safety work to memorials.

The cemetery is due to open to the public on Monday, December 2.

A Redditch Council spokesman said visitors would be aware of the many memorials that had to be laid flat as they were assessed as being unstable.

Work was carried out using specialist equipment to prevent further damage and where possible, the memorials were laid flat with the inscription facing upwards within the confines of the grave.
