Cllrs Ready, Conway ,Hilton gave the church £1000 pounds through their brighter borough fund
This donation helped them secure £20,000 form Viridor, as the church had to give them £2,000 as per the rules of the Land Fill Scheme.
This money will pay for the complete renewal of all the gutters and down spouts all around the church from top to bottom. These will be as per the originals in cast iron in keeping with the English Heritage grant for a Grade II listed building. This part of the overall job, which is over £200,000 in total should have ben completed by now. However their was slight slippage in the work and this did not start on time.
To add to the problem it was discovered a couple of weeks back that we had Kestrels nesting in the gutters on the North side of the building so that area could not be started as they are protected. The work on the south and West has started this week, and as it looks like the birds have now flown the nest the North side will be started a bit later.
