A man says he is facing extra costs from a council to bury his mother – because he lives 20ft outside an area boundary.

Steven Else’s mum Barbara died last week at the age of 83 after suffering with dementia.

Mr Else, from Carlton, bought a grave plot for £3,000 when his father Douglas died and said it would have been £1,000 if he had lived in the boundaries of Gedling.

Now he has been landed with an additional bill of £1,500 to reopen the plot to bury his mother – which would have been £552 if he were a Gedling borough resident.
