Dear Neighbour,

I write to give you a brief update on the development of St James’ Church, Christleton— a project that began in 2019, and involves the construction of a small extension in the NW corner of the church  (housing toilets and a kitchen) and a reordered nave area inside the church to deliver flexible space for community activities (you can download the full details from our website detailed below).

Our contractor, Grosvernor Construction Ltd, is due on site for 28/9/26. The project is scheduled to complete in February 2027, 20 weeks after its start date.  There will be a contractor compound located at the east end of the church car park. This will inevitably impact the number of available parking spaces for church visitors, which I should be grateful are kept free for this purpose, please. We are told that most disruption will be within the first eight weeks of the scheduled 20-week period. So, October through November of this year.

May I thank you in advance for your kind patience and understanding as we deliver this project for our communities. We will aim to post further information on our Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/stjameschristleton/)  and church website (https://www.stjameschristleton.org.uk - this blog) as we receive it in the coming months.

With love,

Stefan
