Fr Rob Wickham, Rector of St John at Hackney Church, has been given the Speaker of Hackney's award for outstanding community building. Recognising his work in the community during and after the riots last summer, Fr Rob was given the award by Hackney Council's current Speaker, Councillor Susan Fajana-Thomas, during a Communities Celebration Evening.
Unexpectedly the Chancellor announced in the Budget that approved alterations to listed buildings - which, unlike repairs and maintenance are currently zero-rated - will be charged at the standard rate of 20 percent. This will cost Church of England congregations up to £20 million per annum on works to its 12,500 listed church buildings, assuming of course parishes and cathedrals can now afford to go ahead and undertake the works required.
