Town outlines cemetery maintenance plan: tree work, leveling, paving and wall repairs planned
Summary
Public Works Director William Watkins reported ongoing and planned maintenance across Coventry cemeteries — tree and shrub removal at Grant Hill, leveling at Coventry Cemetery, paving the Grant Hill entrance, knotweed control, and a proposed plan to repair the Nathan Hale wall.
Public Works Director William Watkins briefed the Coventry Cemetery Commission June 18 on a set of ongoing and planned maintenance projects across town cemeteries, including tree and shrub removal at Grant Hill Cemetery, leveling a back area at Coventry Cemetery, paving the entrance to Grant Hill, control of knotweed at the back of Grant Hill, and development of a plan for wall repair at Nathan Hale.
Watkins presented the projects as ongoing town maintenance tasks; commissioners did not vote on contract awards or funding at the meeting. The minutes note that the commission will continue discussion about planting new trees for Coventry Cemetery at a future meeting.
No timeline for completion or cost estimates were provided in the minutes; the commission requested a follow-up on tree selection and plan details at the next meeting.
