CONTINUING WORKS
Although the repairs from the flood are now complete at a cost of +£18,000, (covered by the insurers) the roof and internal down spouts continue to let in water throughout the building.
There is a recurring problem by the statue of Our Blessed Lady and the brand-new carpet in Fr’s office was sodden with rainwater again last week.
We have a maintenance contract with Ross Roofing who ensure (twice a year) that the roof is cleared of all debris. However, the latest problems require further works and will cost approximately £1,500. Just to keep you in the know the average weekly collection averages around £650 – £700 from the three weekend Masses.
If anybody has any fundraising ideas or expertise, we could really do with it! God Bless.
