A NEW £1 million-plus privately-operated cemetery has opened near Keighley Tarn. Those behind the scheme – the first of its kind in the Bradford district for over a century – say the project is already providing a potential model for similar initiatives nationally. When plans to turn the old Braithwaite Edge quarry site into a burial ground – accommodating up to 2,000 graves – were first put forward by Keighley Community Cemetery, there was fierce opposition from some residents. Concerns were voiced that water courses could be contaminated and there were fears over increased traffic levels. But there was also strong support for the scheme and the plans were given the go-ahead by Bradford Council s regulatory and appeals committee in 2015, with councillors voting six-to-one in favour.
