FAMILIES are outraged and taking action after saying loved ones' graves were destroyed and paved over to make room for a car park.<\/p>\n

Cops are investigating after headstones were allegedly removed from outside a chapel in Powys in Wales.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Relatives say they were taken away while providing room for a car park.<\/p>\n

Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed they were investigating "a report of criminal damage" at the Bethany Chapel in Kerry, near Newtown.<\/p>\n

The chapel shut about 20 years ago and planning permission was granted last year for a car park and driveway to be built on neighbouring land.<\/p>\n

The work has now finished but families were dismayed to discover plots had allegedly disappeared from the burial ground.<\/p>\n

Among those speaking out are the White Lewis family, who have grandparents and great-grandparents in the graveyard.<\/p>\n

They say a headstone for grandparents John Davies Lewis and Olive Lewis is now missing.<\/p>\n

The family said: "We are all shocked and deeply upset.<\/p>\n

"None of us have had any communication regarding our opinions on this completely inappropriate development.<\/p>\n

"We call for reassurance and evidence that our loved ones' remains have not been disturbed or even taken away."<\/p>\n

Jackie Davies, who also has family graves there, told Sky News: "It's clear that they've been disturbed, it's clear that headstones have got posts put through into the graves.<\/p>\n

"It's all very traumatic, it's all very disturbing to see – it's sickening to see."<\/p>\n

Powys County Council said it was investigating whether planning consents have been breached, after being "made aware of concerns".<\/p>\n

The authority said: "Works to any graves would require separate consent from the Home Office and the agent was made aware of this requirement.<\/p>\n

"Planning permission has since been granted for the change of use of land to form a parking area and formation of vehicular access in June 2022.<\/p>\n

"This application did not seek to relocate any further gravestones."<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the Dolafon Gospel Hall Trust, part of Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, said: "We are meticulously adhering to the planning consent granted by Powys County Council as we deliver this important restoration.<\/p>\n

"The planning permission for the development of the site and its grounds was granted while under previous ownership.<\/p>\n

"We have since worked closely with the council and other relevant authorities to ensure that our plans are delivered sensitively and appropriately."<\/p>\n

The trust said they wanted to be "good neighbours and support the local community, including through extensive charitable activity".<\/p>\n

The Sun Online has approached the trust for further comment.<\/p>\n

Dyfed-Powys Police today said enquiries were still ongoing.<\/p>\n
