Ford Park Cemetery goes to great lengths to ensure that the cemetery and graves are maintained to a respectful standard. We are aware of the potential emotional impact on people, especially parents.

We have recently had issues with rooks attacking the babies garden, they seem to be attracted to shiny objects and are pulling toys apart for nesting material. It is currently the nesting season and the days are long. They are powerful birds.

In looking at the photographs, it looks like this may be the problem rather than vandals.
The garden will be inspected first thing Monday to tidy up the area and establish the cause.

The Cemetery grounds will remain closed and the gates locked every Saturday and Sunday until further notice.
