(North Sewickley Towsnhip, PA) A local police department is asking residents to help restore a cemetery that has fallen into disrepair. 

The North Sewickley Township Police Department issued a public call for volunteers to help clean up Locust Grove Cemetery along the 900 block of Brighton Road. 

Police Chief Tyler Kelosky said in a social media post that the cemetery has become severely overgrown and difficult to maintain. 

Kelosky said funding and maintenance resources are limited, and many families have expressed concerns about the cemetery’s condition. 

In response, police are encouraging residents, churches, businesses, organizations and other volunteers to help with cleanup efforts.
