Local news for Tuesday 20th January

A major (though largely internal) renovation of St Peter's Hall, in the Town's conservation area, opposite the Museum, has been granted planning permission.

The Hall is used extensively by the community and local organisations; from residents' meetings to arts and performance as well as groups like Headway and AA; the NHS also held its Rowan Ward consultations there.

The works are now out to tender. 

The Church will provide half of the cost with the rest hopefully coming from grants and donations. 

The hall will be closed for 5 to 6 months around April/May and reopen sometime in October.

St Peter's Treasurer, Steve Hitchmough, speaking to Mike Waddington, explains the project and also preparing for an Diocese Architectural Review of St Peter's Church itself.
