Interesting that all 6 of the proposals intend using the garden at St Pius X Catholic Church as a walk through. This presents the Church with an opportunity to offer facilities such as a drop in centre, cafe etc and increase our profile. However we have no funds to facilitate this, so would need to come to some arrangement if this part of the project were to go ahead. I would have over 200 angry and vociferous parishioners if there was no benefit to the church. So far the most common comment has been "All the windows will get broken."
