Simple solution?

A man goes to a cemetery in Bristol to tend to the grave of a relative.  He is appalled by the general state of the cemetery and over several years spends thousands of pounds of his own money on repairing headstones, cutting back the undergrowth and replacing the cemetery gates.  He has now been forbidden by the church authorities from doing any further work on anything other than the grave of his relative on the ground that under ecclesiastical law he needs a permit to do so.  Of course, the immediate question which springs to mind is - why the hell don't they give him a permit then??
