A Dunedin City Council review of cemetery space has caused ‘‘warning bells’’ to sound, Mosgiel-Taieri Community Board chairwoman Sarah Davie-Nitis says. The review would include determining the available burial plots in Dunedin cemeteries and space for future plot development. At the meeting, Mrs Davie-Nitis said the city-wide scope of the review caused ‘‘warning bells’’ to sound. Mrs Davie-Nitis, of Mosgiel, speaking to The Star last week, said there was a perception that the East Taieri Cemetery was getting full and Mosgiel residents wanted to know how much burial capacity remained on the Taieri. The review was a good thing but she feared it could result in the $2.8 million being spent outside the Taieri area.
