A parish councillor has quit due to the “unacceptable condition” of Corbridge Cemetery. Mark Griffin said he had also resigned his position on the Corbridge Parish Council due to the “oversight of the affairs” of the cemetery by the council. At last month’s meeting of the parish council, during ‘Urgent Business’, Mr Griffin told members he had received a letter personally addressed to him from two residents. He said the residents had written to him to say that the condition and presentation of the village’s cemetery were “unacceptable”. During the meeting, Mr Griffin said he would carry out an inspection of the cemetery and generate a report on his findings.
