Rushden Town Council purchase 20 acres of amenity land for new town cemetery

Rushden Town Council are pleased to announce that they have managed to secure the purchase of 20 acres of amenity land, situated off Bedford Road.

Primarily this land will be used to create a new town Cemetery. Newton Road Cemetery is rapidly reaching full capacity and as a Town Council we have responsibility to provide burial facilities. Therefore, after lengthy negotiations we have managed to obtain land within Rushden Parish.

This opportunity allows us to futureproof a significant protected green space and provide much needed cemetery facilities for years to come.
