I am now able to confirm that the council are currently awaiting the detail of costs for the redecoration of the interior of Witton Cemetery Chapel and that their intention is to progress with the works as long as the cost is not prohibitive.
It is hoped that works will commence within the next year and I have asked them to do their best to ensure the work is carried out given the concerns which have been raised with me by some of those who visit the cemetery.
The cemetery chapel is listed at Grade II and Birmingham City Council has an obligation to ensure that the building is maintained to an acceptable level. In recent months there has been a significant amount of expenditure for the chapel, due to some essential exterior structural works that were required for the spire. Due to the severity of the remedial works, this unfortunately had to take precedence over the interior decoration works that are required.
