THE car park at the new cemetery in Castlebar has become an 'embarrassment'.

There's rubble dumped at the back of it, Councillor Ger Deere highlighted at a municipal district meeting, and machinery parked up.

It's embarrassing, he said, and not good enough for the deceased members of the town.

It is in a 'shocking' state, Councillor Blackie Gavin agreed, with large craters.

Municipal district head David Mellett said there is funding for a tidy up and barriers at the entrance in next year's budget.
