Police have proposed measures to stop "sexual activity" at grave sites in Ipswich, the largest city in Suffolk, in the east of England.
Locals previously voted for the complete renovation of Apas square in Ipswich as part of the municipal project "Turn our city around".
In a letter published on the website of the Ipswich municipality, the police presented recommendations on how to make the area safer.
There is a high level of crime and anti-social behavior in the area, while some use the graves as places for sexual activities, drug and alcohol use, the police said.

'disrespect'
"In public but hidden locations such as this, it is common for tombstones to be used as tables for alcohol and drug consumption," the police said.
"They are sometimes the site of sexual activity."
That's why the police have proposals to prevent such activities on monuments, which includes "protection of tombstones" with fences.
"At the place of practicing religion and faith, such antisocial behavior is particularly disrespectful," they point out.
The police also recommend the installation of security cameras, as well as better lighting "to prevent anti-social and criminal behavior".
"Suffolk Police work to make the streets safer, reduce crime and promote public safety," a police spokesman said.
"The role of our officers is to offer crime prevention advice that can be taken into account in areas earmarked for regeneration."
