Priory Campaign Update: pre-planning applications

At long last, our pre-planning applications for Community Use of the building(s) received a favourable response from Warrington Borough Council on Friday.

Although this approval is only in principle (subject to full planning application being granted once we decide which building we can afford), it will guide the purchase decision we must make imminently, based on various considerations, including the amount of money presently raised and the need for a stable income for the upkeep of the new building.

Please ask Our Lady of Lourdes (feast Monday) for more space for our activities, and for last-minute benefactors to support the Priory Campaign.
