Salisbury City Council has launched a consultation survey to hear your views on its new Cemetery Regulations.

The Cemetery Regulations are in place to ensure a respectful, safe and well-maintained environment across all Salisbury City Council-managed cemeteries: The Avenue, London Road, and Devizes Road.

Visit the Salisbury City Council website to view the proposed new regulations and to complete the survey online.

Cllr Jenny Bolwell, Chair of the Environment Committee, said, “The proposed updates to the Cemetery Regulations strengthen clarity and are intended to help us keep the spaces safe, peaceful and well-kept for everyone who visits.

“We know how important these places are to families and loved ones, and we welcome feedback and encourage anyone with an interest to share their views.”

The survey is open from today, Wednesday 7 January, for six weeks, until Wednesday 18 February 2026.
