[WGNC] Possible update to website

[Dennis Smith]

Hi all

 

As a follow-up to the meeting last night, I wonder if it would be worth
making some small changes to the website to clarify the ownership and
management of the cemetery.  Newington has an ambiguous kind of status, part
working cemetery, part historic site, part recreation and conservation area.
Some of the queries which come in to Barbara via the info@ address would be
better going straight to Mortonhall.  Others are unclear: you have to engage
with the enquirer to find out what they are really after before deciding who
is best placed to answer.

 

My main idea is to include a short note somewhere on the website about the
working cemetery angle, quoting the Council's bereavement@ email address,
and suggesting that any questions about lair ownership, etc. should go
straight to the Council.  I'm happy to handle any broadly historical queries
and to make the occasional expedition into the undergrowth in search of
memorials (like the brewing dynasty I was able to find for a researcher
during lockdown).

 

All the best

 

Dennis
