No one locally appears to have picked up the good news about Willesden Jewish Cemetery. It has been awarded a more than £300k grant for improvements. It is hoped that this might be augmented by further grants. The plans sound ambitious:
"The ‘House of Life’ project will restore the eight hectare graveyard and
create a new visitor centre, café, learning centre and permanent
exhibition about the cemetery’s history."
It also sounds like there could be a natural tie in with the Brent Museum to work upon some educational projects celebrating Willesden's rich Jewish history.
