The following letter has been received from the Building Surveyors GLM, responsible for the construction work on Garvald Church:

Dear Garvald Resident,

We are writing to neighbours near to Garvald Church to inform you that construction work is scheduled to commence at the end of June.

The work is part of repairs to the building and we expect it to continue for approximately 6 months. This may be followed by work to the interiors of the building.

We are committed to minimising any inconvenience and ensuring that disruption is kept to a minimum. Construction activities will typically take place between 08.00 and 17.00, Monday to Friday.

We have instructed our contractors to be mindful of noise levels, parking and cleanliness in the area. We have arranged for construction waste to be bagged and transported off-site meaning we can avoid having skips located on the roads within the village.

Nonetheless, if you have any concerns or experience any issues during the construction period, please notify us.

We appreciate your understanding

Yours faithfully

Finn MacMillan

Building Surveyor

Thank you to everybody who came along to the History, Music and Thank you event in the Church on Sunday. And a very special thanks to Off Grid for rounding off the event.

Anne Raitt is hoping to gather some more signatures for the card so if you would like to add your name – please contact her.

The 1963 film showing the refurbishment of the church at that time lasts for 30 minutes – the file was too big to upload. But here is a short version to give you a flavour.
