Enfield Council's Tottenham Park Cemetery Statement

Enfield Council send a official statement for Tottenham Park Cemetery. Here is the council's statement:  "The ongoing situation at Tottenham Park Cemetery is unacceptable. Enfield Council is extremely distressed by reports from residents regarding the desecration of existing graves, and the failure to receive burial records for several years. The changes to recent ownership have not alleviated our concerns. Furthermore, we have received a number of complaints that the 'new' owners are imposing new grave plot lease arrangements on families who have loved ones buried at the cemetery. "

Enfield Council statement: "Enfield Council are working in partnership with the Ministry of Justice to find solutions, and we continue to raise concerns with Ministers on behalf of the local community who feel let down by consecutive owners of the cemetery.There have been two statutory inspections in the past four years, with both stating that the cemetery is full and recommending the closure of the site to new burials. Despite this, it has been reported that there have been over 250 new burials since 2019. The owners of the cemetery should immediately stop all new burials that are not already clearly marked reserved plots."
