1/4/2011 Assessore Tomasi illustra dettagli, Giuliano (Pdl) contesta
E' stato l'assessore al decentramento Renato Tomasi ha illustrare in Consiglio comunale la modifica del Piano regolatore cimiteriale per la collocazione del forno crematorio che sorgerebbe nella parte sud-ovest del cimitero monumentale di Trento, a ridosso della ferrovia. La scelta di realizzare la struttura - ha detto Tomasi - corrisponde alla necessità di dare adeguate risposte ai cittadini, visto il numero crescente di richieste che oggi devono essere soddisfatte rivolgendosi fuori provincia.

31/3/2011 The sale of Bretby Crematorium could take place after the local elections in May.
The news came after it was revealed that no date had yet been set to make a decision over the controversial sale, and elections are little over a month away.
South Derbyshire District Council approved the £8 million sale at its finance and management meeting on March 17, while delegated powers have been handed to Tory councillor Richard Grosvenor, leader of East Staffordshire Borough Council.
Conservatives at the district council unanimously voted to sell off the asset, while Labour councillors voted against.
Das Krematorium der Landeshauptstadt arbeitet kostendeckend, allerdings drücken Zinsen und Tilgung laufender Kredite die Bilanz ins Minus. Im Jahr 1996 war der kommunale Betrieb für fünf Millionen D-Mark errichtet worden, ein Kredit der erst im Jahr 2030 abgetragen sein wird. Schon heute kämpft das im bundesweiten Vergleich kleine Krematorium um seine Existenz. Seine zwei Öfen sind nur zur Hälfte ausgelastet: Etwa 1500 Einäscherungen finden dort pro Jahr statt.
