CAR PARKING: While we are delighted with excellent attendance at Sunday services, we recognise that this puts pressure on our limited car parking facilities. In order to make things easier – and safer – for everyone, we would ask you all to observe the following guidelines: Please bring your car into the car park – do not leave it at the side of the road. This can cause problems for road users and local residents. On entering the Church grounds, drive slowly and follow the signage around the car park. This has been designed with your safety in mind. When all marked spaces have been filled, you may park along the access road, as directed by the car park supervisor. However if you do this, please move your car immediately after the Service. This will avoid congestion and allow others to leave promptly. 9. Network commences again in November.
