Go onto CWGC website, there is a facility there to report such neglected headstones.
Alternatively, you could always become one of the volunteer ‘maintaineers’.

It could cause a conflict with my work, unfortunately. I'll have a look on the CWGC website. Thank you The whole grave yard is in a mess caused by landslides and badgers, but these graves are very accessible.
