GIVE-TO-GO-GREEN – FACULTY APPLICATION
The PCC was awarded £10,000 by the Church of England’s Give-to-go-Green fund, as matched funding towards a £20,000 target to pay for a new 3-phase grid connection for the church.
The money will be used to pay National Grid to lay a 3-phase electricity cable beneath Moor Road to a new metering cabinet in the churchyard (next to the bike racks). From here, an armoured cable will be buried along the base of the north boundary wall to reach the north door of the church. The funding will also cover the new 3-phase distribution board, to be located next to the gas boilers, plus the adjustments needed to the internal church wiring to balance the electrical loads across the 3 phases.
At the same time, the north entrance of the church will be modified to include ramped access, so also providing a discrete cable route into the church.
A faculty for this work has been approved in principal by the Diocese, and has entered a public consultation period until June 17th. You can download details of the application here, or view them at the back of the church. You are also welcome to ask the PCC for more information.
