Safety Alert - St. Godric’s Church – Upcoming Maintenance Work

St Godric's church upcoming maintenance work safety alert


Scaffolders finished much earlier than expected at midday today so there should be no obstructions by either contractors or their vehicles for those attending mass tomorrow. For those using the car park, access along the path underneath the scaffolding is permissable though extra care should be taken. The roof work itself isn't due to start until two weeks today, Wednesday 4th February.



 

·      The scaffolding will remain in place until scheduled dismantling on Monday 9th and Tuesday 10th February. On those two days the footpath will again be closed until the work is completed.


·    Before Monday 9th February access along the path underneath scaffolding boards will be permitted even when investigative work is being carried out on the roof above, but please take extra care if using the path during that period for services.


·      Car park users on any of the four days when the path is closed can access the church either by the rear door if keyholders or via the cobbled Back Tenter Terrace and the main door, but bear in mind that contractor vehicles may also be in the car park on those days and throughout the whole period of works so space may be limited. 


·      Access to the church via the main access path and the main door will be available as normal throughout the whole period, though it may be necessary at times during the working week for a contractor vehicle to be parked on the approach path. 


·        It is anticipated that the majority of attendees, particularly on the three Sundays, should not be inconvenienced but all are advised to take extra care.

 

We're looking forward to seeing everyone at our first session of 2026 on Saturday 24th  January after the 5pm Mass.  This time we're planning to have a campfire! Details will be confirmed as soon as possible.  To allow us plan the session and to send you the details, could those planning to attend please send an email to  durhammartyrsparishyouthgroup@gmail.com
