Cemeteries to close and council services canceled for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral

Bus services

Across the country bus services are largely set to operate on reduced Sunday timetables as a result of the Bank Holiday.

On the Isle of Wight and in Newport, Wales, providers have announced that all services will be stopped between 10am and 2pm so drivers can watch the funeral.

Elsewhere many local authorities have announced that the park and ride services they run will not be operating on Monday.

Parking

Some councils have said that car parking services will be affected by the effective shutdown of the county for the memorial.

Shropshire County has announced that all pay and display car parks will be made free, whilst North Yorkshire has said two multi-storeys in Macclesfield will be shut.

Roadworks

Across the country workers will be given the day off meaning planned road works and highway maintenance projects are delayed.

Most local authorities have said that they will only respond to emergency callouts on Monday, such as trees that have fallen across roads.

Street cleaning

Some councils have announced that normal street cleaning services will be scaled back or even canceled entirely.

Sweeping will be suspended in Thanet, Kent, for the bank holiday whilst in Watford there will be a “limited and essential service only”.

The local authority in Cambridge has said its service will “operate from 6am-10am only with a focus on the city centre”.
