Newry, Mourne and Down District Council has revealed completed improvement works at Monkshill and Kilbroney Municipal Cemeteries within the district.

Monkshill Municipal Cemetery in Newry was originally developed in the 1970's with the Chapel of Ease being constructed in the following decade. The Council extended the cemetery to include the provision of 622 additional burial plots and has also provided a dedicated burial section for members of the Islamic community.

Other works included at the cemetery included new surfaced carriageways, footways for visitors and new parking bays with additional disabled parking provision plus upgraded LED street lighting. There has also been extensive landscaping at the cemetery which included tree planting, wild flowering areas and the provision of a bee habitat to improve biodiversity.
