● Environmental campaigners have made a formal complaint against Southwark Council, claiming it is discriminating against Jews and Muslims in its burial policy.
Jewish comedian Lewis Schaffer, who lives in the south-London borough, said there was no provision for Jewish or Muslim interments in the area's three cemeteries.
Mr Schaffer is a member of Save Southwark Woods, which is hoping to preserve an area of woodland that the council plans to convert into a burial ground.
But the council denied religious discrimination and said two Jewish people had been buried in the borough's cemeteries over the past three years.
