All Saints Residents Fête



Chatham Central / Luton & Wayfield Councillors


The Councillors for Luton & Wayfield and Chatham Central attended the fete at the All Saints Church on 7th May.

An event managed by the vicar and the fantastic team in the local All Saints Resident Association, who are celebrating the purchase of the Magpie Hall pub, which is to be converted into a resource for the entire community. The church and residents organised a free BBQ and Cllr Christine Godwin was able to get her car washed by the local scout troope.

The purchase of the Magpie Hall Pub will allow the centre to expand its outreach into the surrounding community, and hopefully strengthen the partnership with the Sure Start facility opposite, to provide holistic services for not only young people but also a centre for the elderly locally.

Commenting on the event Cllr Tristan Osborne (pictured with cake) stated

"It is great news that the facility will be able to expand and be a resource for the entire community partnering with the Church and the Sure Start centre opposite. Inner City Chatham is one of the most deprived parts of the South East and it is important that groups and Associations are supported and helped"

We will continue to support the centre and its work in Luton.
