Disabled Parking at St. Anne’s Church:

 Please remember that during Mass and Service times in St. Anne’s Church, the disabled parking spaces at the front and side of the Church are for disabled badge holders only. No parking should take place outside those places, in order to keep all avenues and paths clear, in and around the Church.

The avenue through the Church Grounds is not a through road linking Chapel Road with the Virginia Road. The level of traffic was becoming dangerous for those using the Church outside of Mass times. Recently some traffic has used the Parish Centre lawn to bypass the barrier. Drivers, and other users, are reminded that the Church grounds are under 24-hour video surveillance.
