I WAS reading the report about the city council’s search for a new burial ground at Horspath and the comments from the parish council regarding flooding and drainage.
I would say the only drainage problems Horspath has with the village burial ground is the fact that the parish council have been talking about draining the area for over six years and all they have done is waste people’s time getting advice and prices and then say they cannot afford it. The first thing they must do is decide, do they want the area drained?
And if so, are they prepared to pay? If the answer to either is no, then they should forget about it and talk about something, or someone else and stop wasting people’s time!
