Friends of Barkby Road Cemetery
Well, we did it! The Green Flag award for 2025-26. We are all so proud of ourselves for lovingly looking after your beautiful cemetery. Thank you to everyone for all their help.
The poppy field around the bird tables has looked stunning this year likewise, the wildflower area at the back of the cemetery on the right.
I hope that you liked the small VJ day display in the chapel – the items were shared with the parish church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul’s.
Enjoy the rest of the Summer, Autumn will soon be with us meaning a quick turnaround of chapel displays to keep me busy.
I am so happy to see that the chapel is now being used for services more often. If you would like to hire the chapel for a service and require a certain colour of flower, please let Syston Town Council know and they will let me know, then I will try and accommodate that colour into the display.
As always if you would like to hire the chapel if you contact Catherine Voyce at Syston Town Council on 0116 260 7150, she will be able to help, likewise if you’d like to plant or dedicate a standard rose along the runways let Catherine Voyce know.
Cheerio for now,
Ros.
