An unkempt burial ground at College Savannah, St John, has forced residents to send out an urgent call for health officials to address the matter.
They are complaining that the unsanitary conditions worsen after heavy rains as water seeps from the graves onto their properties, with an accompanying foul odour.
They are also concerned about large cracks in some tombs and graves, exposing human remains.
