Episode Details

Nottingham City Council grapples with the decision to renew vital funeral services for the citys most vulnerable residents. Public Health funerals, handling around 150 cases annually, and the low-cost Nottingham Funeral service, which has seen a significant increase in demand, are both up for renewal. The council is seeking up to £1 million over five years to keep these services running. The demand for both services has surged, with Public Health funerals jumping from 62 in 2002-03 to around 145 recently, and the low-cost service increasing from 160 in 2010 to 432 last year. The council is proposing a three-year deal, extendable by two more years, to ensure these services continue to support those in need and avoid potential legal issues.
