ST. AIDAN’S
CHURCH
The plans relating to
St. Aidan’s have been
on display since the
beginning of
December - thank you
to those who have
completed a survey
form; the information
will be collated by
Matt and presented to
the PCC when it meets
on 13th January; the
deadline for
submitting your
comments to Matt is
January.
Thursday 9th January
In the North West
Evening Mail on 27th
December, you may
have read a couple of
articles relating to the
proposed plans for
St. Aidan’s - we are
grateful for the
publicity and interest
in the project;
however, you could be
forgiven for thinking
the whole church was
being transformed
into a cafe!
As you know, this is
not the case; the main
church building will be
restored to its original
purpose, as a place of
worship.
The cafe is an integral

part of the plans but
will take up a
relatively small
proportion of the
space.
Interestingly, the idea
of a cafe in Newbarns
has received a
positive welcome
from those in the
community who do
not currently attend
church; one person
said,
“ … it gives credibility

to the project and
says that the church
is serious about
engaging with others
in the wider
community. It’s really
good! …”
