Building begins at Legacy memorial garden site in Hull

'MINOR CHANGES' WILL BE MADE TO THE DESIGN OF SPACES FOLLOWING FEEDBACK

- By DEBORAH HALL

BUILDING work has begun on one of two memorial gardens to remember those affected by the Legacy funeral directors incident.

Construction has started at the chosen Northern Cemetery site, in Hull, with works set to be completed by late September.

A shorter build time is required at the chosen site in the East Riding, which is at Lelley Fields Crematorium, near Preston, in Holderness. There, works are expected to begin this month and be finished by the end of the summer.

Following a consultation earlier this year, Hull City Council and East Riding Council have confirmed the final plans for memorial gardens to remember those affected by the Legacy incident will include a free offer of a named plaque, extra seating and bird baths.

Tracy Meyerhoff, Hull's director of adult social care, is leading the work to support the families and communities affected by the incident.
