Work to remove hundreds of headstones at cemetery slammed as 'disrespectful'

A Paisley woman has slammed the council for its ‘disrespectful’ cemetery works which has resulted in hundreds of headstones being removed without notifying loved ones.

Yvonne Goldie says she was shocked when she visited her grandparents' grave in Hawkhead Cemetery on Mother's Day to find the headstone had been removed and laid flat on the ground without her knowledge.

A sign had been left in its place saying the headstone was considered a ‘hazard’ and had to be removed for safety reasons - with signs posted in hundreds of graves.
