At a rather disappointingly attended meeting last evening (Monday Jan 17th) it was suggested that these questions be made available to the whole parish via the website and copies also be made available in church. Comments can be returned via e-mail, or at the meeting, to be held in the Parish Centre next Monday, January 24th 2022 at 7:30 pm.
