Volunteers making headstone restoration progress; council seeks more help
Summary
Volunteers reported cleaning and resetting numerous headstones as part of a 3–5 year restoration project; the council thanked the volunteers and said public‑works staff have contributed weekly assistance.
A volunteer update described ongoing headstone restoration work across Bath’s cemeteries. The volunteer said the project began about two months ago, that volunteers have cleaned more than 110 stones and completed additional resetting work at smaller stones, and that the program is anticipated to take three to five years.
The volunteer offered to teach new volunteers and thanked town public‑works staff for contributing several hours weekly to assist with the effort. The chair praised the work and noted the labor‑intensive nature of cemetery maintenance in a small town.
Councilors and staff said they will continue to recruit volunteer help and support the multi‑year restoration effort; no budget request or additional funding motion was made during the meeting.
