A Shropshire town which is running out of burial space has appealed to landowners to step in and help.
Ellesmere's Swan Hill Cemetery at the back of the town's mere, only has enough room for graves to last the next few years.
Mayor of Ellesmere, Councillor Anne Wignall, said:"We are desperately seeking land because Swan Hill Cemetery in the town is filling up and we only have enough burial space left for the next three to five years. "However, in some cases an environmental permit will allow for mitigation measures and controls to protect the water environment."
"We hope that a local landowner will step forward and help us find a solution to this pressing problem that we need to resolve for the peace of mind of local residents."
