Our Lady & St Peter’s – Refurbishment Project –
Work commenced on the Parish Hall WC’s on Monday 22nd July with the demolition of walls and will progress for a period of five weeks. When completed, the Hall WC’s will consist of three unisex WC’s one of which will be a fully accessible WC. The Hall, (without WC’s) will be useable during this period. The contractor can access the Hall WC’s from the rear fire escape and will protect the doors between the Hall and the WC’s.
Internal work within the Church commenced on Monday 29 July with the erection of fixed scaffolding around the altar and over the baldachino. The contractor will also use a mobile scaffolding tower for access to upper levels to carry out redecoration. This mobile tower will be parked at the rear of the Church for weekend services and the three seats ‘lost’ will be temporarily relocated within the Church so that there is no overall loss of seating. Holy Mass will be held in the Parish Hall on weekdays, commenced on Monday 29 July. Arrangements will be made for the WC behind the Sacristy to be available to parishioners attending weekday Mass in the Hall.
Refurbishment of the existing WC to the rear of the Sacristy will not commence until the Hall WC Refurbishment has been completed.
The organ will be protected throughout the redecoration and will remain accessible.
The contractor investigated the loose and deflecting patch in the woodblock floor in the central aisle week commencing 22nd July and you are asked to try and avoid walking on it in the meantime, if possible.
WEEKDAY MASSES – in Parish hall until 14th October.
