By early evening tonight (Thurs) the parish church had again been partially flooded as water seeped in past the barriers erected yesterday.  Extra barriers have now been put in place and a few folk have worked hard baling out the water in the porch - thanks to them

Due to the parish church being flooded on Wednesday the 11.15a.m. service on Sunday 25th November will be held in the Church Room.

Thanks are extended to all those who helped clear the debris blockage and erect the porch barrier in the morning and to the small army of volunteers who helped with the clean up operation during the afternoon.

The drying out process is now taking place before the building is sanitised.
