In St Andrew’s , Ravelston, the Prayer Group will lead Stations of the Cross in the church on Thursdays at 7pm. Please do take the opportunity to come along to this special way of growing closer to Christ.
City Mobility Plan Council Consultation – ends 27th of March
The Council plans for the future of the City emphasise walking, cycling and public transport as the means of transport around the city. We are concerned that the needs of elderly, infirm and disabled people are not given due consideration. Travelling by private car is an absolute lifeline to many of our parishioners. Please support the disabled and infirm of this parish by responding to the Council’s consultation stating the need for any future transport plan to clearly set out how it will accommodate the housebound and those who have mobility problems or who cannot access public transport. You can respond until 27 March 2020 here.
