Fabric Report:
West End of Church: The enabling works had commenced in w/c 22nd July, and were expected to be complete in w/e 27th September. The application to Veolia had been unsuccessful at the final stage, but the Trust had suggested other contacts for grant funding. Richard Crooks had also given additional suggestions. JF would pursue these leads.
David Simpson had made adjustments to the sound system, which currently appears to be in good working order. Further work will be needed as the West End development progresses.
Finance Committee had accepted a quotation from Smiths of Derby for the necessary repairs and some upgrading to the church tower clock. DAC is to be consulted about the need for a Faculty for the upgrading work. A financial contribution from the Council would be sought.
Arrangements are being made for the regular inspection of the tower, the spire and the lightning conductor; and for the regular inspection of fixed wired electrical components in church.
Leeds City Council has reinstated a loose block of stone in the external wall to the churchyard. We have asked them to consider other areas of the wall, and the trees in the churchyard, which require attention.
Yorkshire Water has repaired a water leak from an underground pipe in the churchyard.
The Parish Hall has suffered further vehicle damage. The proposal for a one-way street has been rejected, but a combination of bollards and parking restrictions might alleviate problem.
