Tracy Wolfendale's family members are buried at Tonge Cemetery in Bolton . She likes to look after their graves, putting new decorations down each year to pay respect to the family she has lost.
However, upon visiting their graves on Sunday, June 9, she found herself "heartbroken" at the condition they were in. Tracy Wolfendale (Image: Public) Tracy said: "My brother and my mum and dad are in there, we maintain them every year. "When I went on Sunday to visit for my mum's birthday, I was heartbroken.
"When they do the grass, they mow it but don't put a grass box on so the cuttings go all over the graves. "I was really, really annoyed when I got there. We couldn't even see my brother's grave when we got there, the grass was four feet high.
"I had a pair of scissors in the car, so decided to use those to cut the grass." Her parents' grave (Image: Public) Tracy added: "I work for highways at Trafford Council, our grass cutters are out there all the time when spring/summer comes around. "I complained to the council and got a reply saying it was due to staff shortages, holidays, sickness and operational issues, and so they have had nobody to do it.
