Rochdale Road Shaw should be fully open by Easter when the work to install supportive scaffolding to St Paul’s Church is completed.  Work will continue to make the building safe again. This is the latest information we have been told.

Councillors have met with St Paul’s representatives to discuss the future of the building. 

Councillor Chris Gloster added, “we are all determined to ensure that this building does not remain a crumbling monument, and will work with Historic England, the Methodist Organisation and other interested parties to ensure it does not.”
