Poll: Do you think it is acceptable for a cemetery to be closed off to the public due to road works and lockdown restrictions?

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Community News

Roadworks on Puinui Road have blocked the pedestrian entrance to the Manukau Memorial Gardens.

This is the only way to visit the cemetery, as gates are closed to vehicles under alert level 3 rules.

As a result, the cemetery has become completely closed off to the public.

Local resident Chris Greyling said it was “heart breaking” people are being prevented from visiting their loved ones in the cemetery.

Do you think it is acceptable for the cemetery to be closed off?
