He has organised with his staff at Prosafe to safeguard the gates and parking lot to keep residents and their belongings safe for the day, making it the ideal time to find out all about Springs’s first families and their descendants.

Prosafe will be on duty from 9am to 11am and again from 2pm to 4pm and everyone is welcome.

“The aim is to offer the opportunity to as many people as possible to feel comfortable visiting the graveyard to find out about their ancestors and the people who shaped Springs.
