Quarry Road toilets - what a difference!

Travelling down Quarry Road in St James' yesterday, I was struck by the huge difference which finally demolishing the awful toilet block outside St Barnabas Church has made. Although there's still fencing up for health and safety reasons, you can start to see what the view will be like. We'll be able to see the church itself - an imposing jewel in St James' crown - and the area will not only look cleaner and tidier, but also be safer for local residents, and the children attending the Barna-Bus pre school on the site. Why it took so long for someone to take some action is a mystery, but between Father Ed, the locals and myself, we've done it. Now we need to get on with finding the money for the new Community Centre.
