My parents are buried at Burslem Cemetery, and I was disgusted on my last visit at the state of the place.

  1. OVERGROWN: Brian Simpson has complained to the council about long grass on a small field near Barks Drive, in Norton. Inset, our story about residents' concerns. Reader Mrs S Barlow says the city council needs to rethink its grass cutting policy at cemeteries.

My shoes and feet were soaked by the time I had walked through the grass to reach the grave!

I have just returned from holiday abroad and was so impressed at how lovely their cemeteries are kept – they obviously have more respect for their loved ones than this council allows us to have for ours.
