Vegetation growing over burial niches in a cemetery.

Visitors to Lleida cemetery have noted vegetation growing over burial niches, especially in the Sant Miquel department. The City Council has indicated this is a temporary situation that will be addressed soon.

Some citizens have observed the abundant presence of vegetation, including bushes, shrubs, and even young trees, over various areas of the Lleida cemetery. This situation is particularly visible in a section of the Sant Miquel department, where the plants have reached a considerable size.
Sources from the City Council (Paeria) have attributed this growth to the spring and summer weather conditions. The council has assured that plans are in place to carry out pruning and cleaning work in the coming days to resolve this issue.
