The old lodge at Newark Cemetery will be demolished and a replacement built to preserve a number of trees

An old building in the town's cemetery is to be demolished and replaced with a new, custom-built building.

Newark Town Council's finance and general purposes committee agreed revised plans to demolish the old lodge at Newark Cemetery and erect a replacement near the entrance to Sparrow Lane.

But the original plans, approved back in 2017, would have included the removal of a number of trees within the conservation area.
