Redditch Borough Council has sparked a lot of comments with their new proposals to use their crematorium to heat the local swimming pool. The council state that if the plans go ahead it will mean a saving of £14,500-a-year on heating bills alone.
Local funeral director Simon Thomas, of Thomas Brothers Funeral Directors says, “it’s a bit strange and eerie” and “it will cause uproar and may even put people off using the facilities”.
However Carol Gandy, council leader, defends the proposal stating “personally I’m supportive of it, it will save the authority money and, in the long-term, save energy”.
What do you think? Is this a good way of saving in a time of economic crisis? Or do you think this is insensitive and “strange and eerie”?
