That's just it Roz, Southwark have not got 10 years of burial space left.In April the cemetery will be full while Lewisham has 7 years left.Apart from bits here and there,the next phase will be to use the old nursery site.This has spaces for 400-600 graves and with an average of two burials per day at most this will last for a year,then they will come for the rec!

This is why it is important for everyone to sign the petition and get behind the campaign and why BBC London were filming over the rec today.
The rec will give them 25 years of burial space but after this there will be no where else for them to go. Therefore the only way there will be burials in the future is if they start to change how they do it now!

So Roz, if you do not want to sign the petition to save our much loved green space,do it to protect the future right of people like yourself who want the choice of burials in the future!
