Merthyr Dyfan Cemetery (Picture: Facebook) BARRY Town Council has reassured the public that work taking place near a cemetery will not affect funerals. Barry Town Council held a consultation between September 21 and October 31 (2020) and invited the public to share their views on the trees which form the boundary between The Merthyr Dyfan Cemetery and St Andrews Road. A report was produced and presented to The Full Council in December when it was decided that the Leylandii trees forming the boundary with the Cemetery and St Andrews Road be removed; native trees are to be replanted in the cemetery.
