The primary responsibility for maintenance of the memorial rests with the owner of the memorial. We require to know if the owners intend to carry out the essential remedial work’s required.
If we do not hear from the owners by 28/08//25 then it will be assumed that you do not wish to carry out the work and CEBS will then arrange for the necessary works to make the memorial safe. This work will be conducted at a cost however we will seek to recoup that cost from the owner.
