A colony of badgers is causing havoc at a graveyard to the devastation of grieving families. The black and white mammals are living and breeding at Tweedmouth Cemetery in Berwick, Northumberland, resulting in graves being dug over and covered in mud. Northumberland County Council have reassured locals they are carrying out daily routine inspections of the churchyard. A Northumberland County Council spokesperson said: 'We are aware that badgers have been present in and around Tweedmouth Cemetery and are monitoring this situation very closely. 'We fully understand people's concerns and the distress that this might cause to families who have loved ones buried there.
