ST OSWALD'S

The independent enquiry into the St Oswald's field has concluded that there was insufficient usage by the local residents over a 20-year period to justify the land being accorded Village Green status. This means that the field remains under PCC ownership and control. The PCC voted, at their meeting in September, to sell the building and the land so the property has now been placed on the open market.

June 2009: The sale of St Oswald's Church has taken place

Give As You Earn
Give As You Earn is an easy, hassle-free way for you to make regular donations to charity straight from your pay and is the most tax-effective way for individuals to give regularly. Your company will probably take care of the paperwork so all you have to do is fill in a simple form, specifying the amount you wish to donate each pay day. A number of employers will also match the donations their employees make.
