It has taken on the responsibility of locking and unlocking the Cemetery in Kayte Lane, from the Borough Council.  It  communicates local concerns and knowledge to the County Council regarding traffic matters affecting the Village. 
 

The Cemetery in Kayte Lane, Bishop's Cleeve.  The management of the Cemetery is under the control of Tewkesbury Borough Council.  The Parish Council volunteered to lock and unlock the vehicle gates on a daily basis, when the Borough Council were going to stop this service due to budget constraints.  If there are any problems with the gates please contact the Parish Office or see the emergency contact numbers on display at the cemetery.  Until future notice, the pedestrian gate remains unlocked and the vehicle gates are unlocked during the following hours 9am - 7pm (during British Summer Time) and 9am - 5pm (Winter)
