The Issa brothers made their fortune from grassroots in Blackburn and now they want to dig them up to make thousands of burial plots, writes reporter Jamie Lopez as local campaigners tell the Hyndburn Lead why a new cemetery is neither wanted or...
When plans to build a new cemetery were first announced by the EG Foundation in 2021, it sparked a fierce backlash and three years on, the prospect of the development remains but with no clear end in sight. The foundation is the charitable arm of the EG Group – the business empire founded and run by the billionaire businessmen Mohsin and Zuber Issa, as reported by The Hyndburn Lead.
The thought of 300 cars turning up for a funeral is just mind boggling. “We also have 90 years of burial space at Accrington Cemetery so it isn’t needed.” On the revisions made since the first proposal, he added: “The plans are smaller but the car park is still as big. I think residents are worried about this development. There’s been protests and meetings and I still haven’t found anyone that’s spoken in support of the cemetery. It’s not wanted.
