We distributed questionnaires via the village newsletter system, and website, another big thank you to all who helped with this. There was a strong response with lots of ideas generated. These range from adding a full lift (to make better use of the upper room) to Film Screenings, breakfast services, and creating a place for youth groups.Several people were against the introduction of anything to encourage Bats, but generally the statistics show strong support for the ideas listed.A summary;Over 90% of respondents were in favour of changing the heating, creating a ground floor kitchenette, generating electricity on site with solar panels, and recycling materials where possible. Between 80-90% were in favour of the other proposals for interior works including the flat floor in the Nave , seating and electrics improvements, with support for the churchyard proposal in the range from 74-80%.Please contact friends@stmaryshadlow.org.uk if you have further ideas or want more news on this.Richard Hopkinson PCC Secretary St Mary's Hadlow
