Property Development Update

The committee met recently, and we expect that the tender documents will be circulated to potential builders on the 8th of October. It is then the intention to meet on the 2nd of December to award the contract after interviews with the short-listed builders.

In the period from the 8th of October to the end of the year it will be necessary to review everything which is stored in the church and the hall. It needs to be determined as to which items need to be kept and put into temporary storage on site, or what is essential and needs to go in the small portable office which will be set up on site.

The pews will all come out of the church at the beginning of the build phase and be stored on site. The chairs will all go into the sanctuary and be used for worship with the requirement to stack them at the side of the church at the end of the service so that the sanctuary can be used during the week for activities.

It is currently anticipated that the build work will start early in 2026 and be finished in time for Christmas 2026. Please feel free to ask any questions at any time.

John Robinson, Chair Development Committee
