Handrails to promote safe use of flight of stone steps on well-used public footpath through churchyard.
Installation of steel or wrought iron tubular black-painted rails supported on vertical posts to three flights of external stone steps on public footpath leading from The Street opposite the Eight Bells pub via lych-gate to the parish church and beyond to Bolney School and Glebe Field to improve accessibility for all users.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
It is a long-held ambition of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) subject to funding to promote safe use of the path from The Street to the church for the benefit of all the community.
Steps to get it done:
The path via the lych-gate is used not just by worshippers and visitors but by children being accompanied on foot to Bolney School and by dog-walkers from the village. In the centenary year of WW1, more visitors are expected to Commonwealth War Graves.

VolunteerWe run the parish church in Bolney. It is open every day of the year to all and sundry. The PCC is responsible for generating enough income to meet outgoings. These include paying for the incumbent, upkeep of the churchyard, maintaining the fabric of the building in a sound state of repair as befits its Grade 1-listed status, and heating the church during winter months. Generous giving by our regular supporters keeps us going but we look beyond to individuals and organisations in and around the village to help towards one-off projects, such as our current scheme to install three sets of handrails on the path steps from opposide the pub via the lych-gate to the church and beyond. This path is well used by school children and their parents/guardians, also by dog-walkers and visitors. We believe that making access easier and safer for everyone on foot is a worthwhile objective. Other projects are in the pipeline.
