Expert Liaison for Gloucester City Council

Gloucester is a city of Roman foundations and cathedral grandeur featuring exceptional green spaces from the historic Robinswood Hill Country Park to the formal beauty of Gloucester Park. We understand that applying for a memorial in this historic Cotswold gateway can be a complex administrative hurdle particularly when navigating the requirements for placement in heritage landscapes or active bereavement grounds like Coney Hill. At Memorial Benches UK we specialise in removing these challenges acting as your professional technical partner to ensure your memorial bench meets the City Council’s rigorous Heritage Grade standards for durability and civic aesthetic.

Overcoming the Challenges of Gloucester Approval

Gloucester City Council maintains a robust management plan for its 11 parks and various open spaces to ensure all new furniture contributes to the city's long term character. To protect the integrity of sites like Barnwood Park or the tranquil grounds of Gloucester Old Cemetery the council requires furniture of institutional quality that is sustainably sourced. Families often find the technical requirements for oil rich heartwood and the specific local authority application processes to be a significant barrier. We bridge this gap by providing the council with a comprehensive trade data pack. This documentation confirms our Grade A teak is 100% FSC certified proving your memorial is a 25 year asset designed for public safety.
