Got a reply straight back from Cllr. Scott Dickinson. The Church had opted for a 'Wild Garden' approach to the churchyard, but has at times since then requested that the council to do some cutting. Also a charity, Tomorrow's People has been doing some work occasionally. So the Church decides on the work, but it is done by the council or volunteer organisations. Scott suggests contacting the church which I will do.

I think the wild approach, creating a wildlife habitat, is being used at Amble East Cemetery, but just on 50%. On the subject of wildlife and cemeteries I recall as a child catching lizards (and letting them go of course) at the east cemetery, they lived in the crumbling perimeter walls. Unfortunately the walls were all eventually repaired and repointed so that put an end to that. That was the only place in the district I've ever seen native lizards in abundance.
