received a reply from Liz Murphy regarding trying to make the standpipe at the cemetery operational again.\u00a0 In her reply Liz Murphy said that she was sorry, but she was given to understand that this is going to be an extremely expensive problem to resolve, as they believe the burst to be down at the bridge area and what is being suggested is running a new pipe up the length of the car park.\u00a0 She went on to say in her email that she was afraid that this will not be resolved in the immediate future, and, whilst the barrel is perhaps unsightly to some, there is a water provision available.\u00a0 She finished by saying that they will investigate what other alternatives are available.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A member of the public commented that she did not think that the barrel was unsightly, but it is unsafe, because there is no lid on it.\u00a0 R Craib said that she would contact Liz Murphy again to say that our concerns are regarding safety and ask for a lid.<\/p>\n<p>M Ashworth added that it would be far better if there was a tap on the barrel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td
