The scaffolding is now in place to allow the builders safe access to the tower pinnacles.

RESTORATION WORK - our Restoration Work commenced on Monday 17 January 2006 . Owing to site cabins, scaffolding and building materials it will not be possible to use the car park for about 16 weeks — the disabled bays will be available — please leave these for those who really need them. Limited parking is available at the Vicarage. Pedestrian access will be maintained through the Church grounds during the majority of the works but there may be occasions when this is not possible for short periods due to the nature of the construction works — this will be well signed posted.

Due to Health and Safety restrictions it will not be possible to access the Church at the Tower Door — the only accesses to Church will be via the Main Door. All key-holders are politely requested to take extra precautions during these works — if out of view of the main door please lock yourself in — if you are holding a meeting and it is not in the Church Room please lock the door after the last person has arrived. Our Architect and Contractor have expressed their concerns that unfortunately building sites do attract the vandals and they will be taking all precautions to protect their property but it is our responsibility to protect the inside of the Church — open doors may well be an invitation! The Contractor is also requesting that anyone using the building other than for Services also takes responsibility for the gates — they are providing their own security locks and keys can be given to authorized users — but we must abide by their conditions and that is that the gates are closed and locked during the hours of darkness. So if we have meetings etc. it will be the responsibility of the key-holder to ensure these are secured when the last person is in and the last person leaves. Please do help us through this period — the restrictions may seem inconvenient but as our Architect has said precautions have to be taken to ensure the safety of persons using the building, the building and its contents as well.
