Works to improve small ponds at Eltham Crematorium have been deferred, with a £24,702.33 retention payment set to be released. The Eltham Crematorium Joint Committee met on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, to discuss capital projects and financial reports, as detailed in the Public reports pack.
During the meeting, it was agreed that a facelift and programmed maintenance regime for the small ponds located in the North Chapel and memorial garden would proceed. The meeting information does not specify any improvements beyond these measures. This work is estimated to cost £25,000 for the 2026/7 period and will mirror the approach taken for the large pond.
However, all other works scheduled for 2026/7 have been deferred, as previously agreed at the committee's meeting on February 4, 2026. The only expenditure planned for the upcoming year is the release of retention for works completed in 2025/6. Further details on committee decisions can be found in the Decisions document.
