'Have some respect': Fury as pile of rubbish dumped near graves at Greater Manchester cemetery

Visitors have been urged to "have some respect" after rubbish was dumped near graves at a cemetery in Greater Manchester. Photos showed a pile of litter left at Chadderton Cemetery in Oldham.

The cemetery in Middleton Road is a Grade Two site of national importance on the English Heritage Resister of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England. Two Oldham -based Facebook groups have posted warnings on their accounts, advising people to be more respectful when visiting the cemetery.

Oldham Neighbourhood Watch said in a statement posted on Facebook: "This was the state of Chadderton Cemetery [on] 2nd May 2022. If you're going to take flowers to Chadderton cemetery, please take your rubbish home with you or use the bins provided. That's why they are there, it's not hard.
