Property Development Update
I am pleased to report that following Church Council approval on 25th January a letter of intent was entered in to on 26th January for the development project with B D Construction Services. The construction contract will be signed in the next 2 weeks, and work is currently anticipated to start on or about the 23rd Feb and it is anticipated that the construction work should be completed by Christmas 2026.
The vast majority of the intended work is included in this contract but we are in the process of seeking a further £150k of grants to complete all of it.
Whilst the work takes place it is essential that no members of the congregation seek to access the area designated and fenced off for the construction activities. There will be a temporary small office unit located near to the current front door of the church which will contain toilets and electric and water supplies for the making of tea and coffee. No other cooking facilities will be available until the new kitchen is completed.
Everyone’s cooperation will be appreciated to ensure that we maintain a safe working environment. Please feel free to ask any questions at any time.
John Robinson, Chair Development Committee
