Wigton Cemetery – Improvements Update

Wigton Cemetery has undergone extensive improvements to make the entrance more accessible for everyone. The improved access will now allow for better access for those in wheelchairs, mobility scooters, pushchairs and more. Paths within the cemetery have also been upgraded which will allow access to the full cemetery. This project had been planned for many years but could not begin until reserves were built. The WBJC were also successful in securing £3000 from the Lakes and Fells Community Panel and a further £1000 from Wigton’s Cumberland Councillor, Elaine Lynch who granted the money from her allocated funds.

The WBJC would like to thank everyone involved in making this project such a success.
