Minister Appeals for Help After Lead Theft
Our
church has been hit by by theft and vandalism. Plans
to celebrate the silver jubilee of Operation New Look are being hampered
by the recent theft of lead from the church roof. In addition the back
fence of the car park as been broken down by youngsters using the area
as a cut through to the village. The
lead theft has proved of particular concern and has caused damage to the
roof and other areas. Minister
the Rev Derek Grimshaw is appealing for community support to help catch
the thieves. The theft has already been reported to Norfolk Police. “We
are very much a community focussed church and are at present looking at
ways of channelling funds into supporting the local community.
Unfortunately much of our resources are being used up to repair damage
caused by thieves and vandals. “We
really do need the community to support us by reporting to the police
anything suspicious taking place around the church,” Rev Grimshaw
said. The
theft of lead from the building has left damage to brickwork and
necessitated a mopping up operation within the building during recent
bouts of rain. “Many
people involved in the church give hundreds of hours of their time
freely and it is very disappointing that so much of their time is being
taken up repairing unnecessary damage,” Rev Grimshaw added.
