£200,000 redevelopment project is underway at Burnham church

A major £200,000 renovation project is underway at a Burnham-On-Sea town centre church.

A brand new entrance is being built at the eastern end of Burnham Methodist Church in College Street, pictured here.

Reverend Joyce Plumb told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "Our main aim is to create a more welcoming environment and a functional suite of premises able to develop our role as a Church."

The work is due to be completed in August and a second phase of development, to improve the rear of the building, will then start later in 2008.

She said: "The new extension will serve a number of purposes - easier access from public footpaths, clear identification when approaching the church from either end of College Street, and larger glazed areas to make the church more inviting."

"We'll also have a large foyer for multi-purpose use, including a weekday coffee point, and there will also be new male and female toilets and a toilet for the disabled."
