We know the application to the traffic commissioner to extend our vehicle operational licence at Haslingden Cemetery has caused a lot of community concern so we wanted to clarify a few points further.
Thank you for everyone who got in touch with us. It was never our intention to upset or anger grieving relatives who have loved ones buried there.
