Comments from Our Community
Here are comments from our various consultations with the community around St Thomas’.
“A wonderful project – the area is crying out for a largish hall; transforming the rather gloomy church can only help to attract people in; wish you every success.”
“The plans sound wonderful and long overdue for a community centre. Good luck.”
“I look forward to seeing the building completed and anchoring the neighborhood.”
“I think this is a fantastic idea for the community. It’s also encouraging to see new life being injected into the church building.”
Our first community consultation in October 2008 was well attended and offered valuable feedback. The second, in February 2009, was less well attended, no doubt due to the adverse weather. But as we shivered, the point was made about the need for new heating!
As our plans develop further, there will be more such events, when the community around St Thomas’ will have an opportunity to:
- be briefed on our proposals for making the church a more useable place and providing better facilities for meetings and events
- be updated on the timetable and key milestones for the project
- comment on the proposals
- get involved with the Friends of St Thomas’ (FROST)
We value hearing from our neighbours and friends and look forward to seeing you soon.
