East Riding of Yorkshire Council is taking action in response to reports of repeated antisocial behaviour and criminal damage at the cemetery on Sewerby Road in Bridlington.
Council officers have spoken with schools in the area about appropriate behaviour and correct places in which students should play.
The way in which offenders have been brought to justice, in the past, for similar misconduct, was also highlighted.
The council is liaising with the Bridlington Neighbourhood Policing team and is working to install CCTV cameras and increase patrols in the area.
Residents are also being reminded that the cemetery is covered by a public space protection order (PSPO), mandating that dogs be kept on a lead. Failure to do so, or to clean up dog fouling, is an offence that can lead to fines and prosecution.
Councillor Lyn Healing, East Riding of Yorkshire Council cabinet member for communities and public protection said,
“We are aware of distressing reports around misconduct at the Sewerby Road cemetery and are taking action to address concerns.
"This behaviour is completely unacceptable, and we will take all necessary steps to ensure such behaviour ceases.”
Residents can report antisocial behaviour by emailing safe.communities@eastriding.gov.uk or by calling 01482 396380.
