Cllr Anna Bailey has recently visited Mepal to see the progress at the Lake View Bereavement Centre site, coming away saying "It is going to be very special. I love it". 💚
When complete, the community facility promises to provide exceptional care in a beautiful setting, so families can remember, mourn and celebrate the lives of their loved ones in a way that is uniquely personal to them.
Throughout the project the council is liaising with The Wildlife Trust to ensure endangered plants and animals, which have moved in since the site was last used and now restrict its potential for development, are protected and enhanced. We are also working to build new habitats to bring in other native wildlife.
Many of the materials being used in the build and landscaping are recycled, including recycled plastic waste used for cladding, and a bund of earth which was extracted during the building of Angel Drove Car Park in Ely. This will be used to create an area for planting native trees and wildflowers.
Anyone who would like to register an interest in the project can do so by completing our Lake View Bereavement Centre contact form.
