A PARISH council has supported plans for an extension to a village cemetery.
Gainford cemetery would be extended by 40 metres to the west.
Thirty metres of the extra land would be used for burials with the additional ten metres used for interring ashes. The land is being bought from Teesdale District Council.
Gainford and Langton parish council has recommended approval subject to clarification on the dimensions.
