Glenda Powell Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 I have noticed that St Francis church has been closed for sometime, what is actually happening there does anyone know? The St Francis Curch site has become part of the redevelopment of the Oval it will be pulled down to build a multi purpose hub for the community of Newton Farm and wider South Wye to use. As a member of the Oval Redevelopment Steering Group I asked for a written update to put in my Newton Farm newsletter,which I have now received, I will send it to admin to post here!

Glenda Powell Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Bill, The only update I can give is that Herefordshire Housing Ltd (HHL) are still in negotiation with the diosese to buy the church, if successful it will be pulled down and a community hub to replace it. There is a steering group meeting on 10th Sept which I and the other Belmont Cllrs are members, Cllr Edwards is the chairman of the group. I am hoping for an update being brought to this meeting.

So are the planning on building 11 houses on the site of the church and more houses on the green behind the police station then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
