Unfortunately, the church has had to take urgent action to fell 9 trees which have become dangerous due to ash die back, 6 in the churchyard and 3 in the old graveyard. Last week a substantial branch fell from one tree into a neighbour’s garden. We have had to get permission for the felling from the council and as you can see from the photograph posted earlier the contractor has begun this week. As you can imagine the cost of this work is substantial, and so we are asking if you could help by making a donation towards the cost. If you would like to help then please place your donation in an envelope marked “Trees” with your name or envelope number and either place in the collection or hand to me or a member of clergy or a warden. You could also donate directly into the church bank account with the reference Trees and your name; speak to me if you require the church’s bank details.
Any donation, however small, will help towards paying for this work, and would be gratefully received.
Thank you
Edna Green, Treasurer
St John the Baptist Hey
