Memorial Safety Inspections – Important Information for Visitors

Chigwell Parish Council is committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and dignified environment for everyone visiting Chigwell Cemetery.

As a public space, the Council has a legal duty of care to ensure that all memorials are stable and do not pose a risk to visitors, families, or staff.

Why are inspections taking place?
In accordance with health and safety legislation and national guidance, the Council is required to carry out regular Memorial Safety Inspections. These inspections are undertaken by trained and authorised cemetery staff.

What visitors may see
Over the coming days, we will be trialling a Memorial Safety Inspection Programme at Chigwell Cemetery. During this time, visitors may observe staff carefully examining memorials using a visual check and a gentle hand-pressure test. This is a nationally recognised and approved method for identifying memorials that may be unsafe.

If a memorial is found to be unsafe
Where a memorial presents an immediate risk, staff may take temporary action to make it safe. This may include:
• Installing discreet wooden supports
• Securing the memorial with safety strapping
• Placing a yellow warning marker on the memorial

These measures are precautionary, essential for public safety, and will not cause damage to the memorial.

What families and grave owners should do
• The Council will make every effort to contact the registered grave owner where necessary
• If you notice a warning marker or have any concerns, please contact us using the details below

We kindly ask that visitors do not remove or interfere with any temporary safety measures.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. These inspections are an essential part of our responsibility to ensure the safety of all cemetery users.

Alarm disturbance over bank holiday weekend

Chigwell Parish Council has received several complaints regarding an audible alarm sounding during the bank holiday weekend, which we understand caused disturbance to local residents.

We can confirm that following checks of our premises on Hainault Road, Chigwell, there were no recorded alarm activations from any buildings owned or managed by the Parish Council.

Our enquiries indicate that the sound originated from the library building, which is not owned or managed by Chigwell Parish Council. The relevant organisation has been notified and is currently investigating the issue.

We appreciate residents bringing this matter to our attention and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

We will provide a further update if required.

🌿 Keeping Chigwell Clean – A Team Effort 🌿

We recently received a report from a member of the public, via a local parish councillor, about rubbish being strewn around Station Green in Chigwell. Our Open Spaces Team attended promptly, emptied the bins, and cleared the litter to restore the area.

I’ve always believed in asking my team to do nothing I wouldn’t do myself. We work as one team — you said, we did.

It’s just a shame that some of the bins were still empty, yet rubbish had been left beside them rather than placed inside. A small action like using the bin properly makes a big difference to keeping our shared spaces clean and enjoyable for everyone.

Thank you to those who continue to take pride in our community. Let’s keep working together to look after the places we all use.

Our Open Spaces team have begun the seasonal grass cutting in the Garden of Remembrance at Chigwell Cemetery.

With the arrival of brighter days and warmer weather, this careful work helps ensure the grounds remain peaceful, well-kept, and a fitting place for reflection and remembrance.

Thank you to our team for their continued care and dedication in maintaining this special space for the community.

Vehicle Activated Speed Sign Arrives in Chigwell

Chigwell Parish Council is pleased to share that we’ve recently taken delivery of our new vehicle‑activated speed sign. Before it’s deployed across the parish, we’ve been carrying out initial testing on our cemetery approach road to ensure everything is working exactly as it should.

This solar‑powered sign is designed to support safer roads in our community by encouraging drivers to keep within the speed limit.
