At long last we have received the draft of the redundancy scheme for Saint Peter’s Church, which had been expected in May. |
To say the least it is far from being a very inspiring document. It contains only three clauses:
All of this seems very vague, leaving a host of questions unanswered. |
The crucial point is that any written representations about the scheme will have to be sent to the Church Commissioners to arrive by 19th October. The Parochial Church Council will of course be considering the scheme at its next meeting and formal notice of the draft scheme will appear in remote corners of newspapers declaring the rights of interested parties e.g. parishioners, to voice their opinions. Such observations should be sent to the Church Commissioners, 1, Millbank, London S.W.l 3JZ. |
Among the many questions left open are the future of the bells and clock, the organ and furniture. These are matters which will have to be sorted out within the next month. |
