MERGER

Proposal to merge Wateringbury parish with Mereworth and West Peckham.

As most of you will know the benefice of Mereworth and West Peckham are unable to financially support a priest. To overcome this the diocese of Rochester has proposed that we merge with Wateringbury. We are invited to make representations (formal comments) by 16 July.

Draft Scheme - 16072019 - East Malling

It is planned that Mereworth Rectory will continue to be the home for the priest. However, nothing is perfect! None of the churches has the benefit of a church hall and all struggle to find suitably sized meeting rooms. (The churches are expensive to heat and are, therefore, less than ideal for meetings). The rectory has quite substantial grounds. Maybe a good sized meeting room could be built here?

If you have ideas or concerns about any aspect of the merger please do make a representation on the consultation.
