Area Meeting Office
The office at Bull Street remains closed for the time being. The Area Meeting Secretary is working from home and is taking phone calls and receiving emails as ‘normal’. However there is no access to the photocopier or other office equipment so most communication is electronic.

Employment Committee asked Local Meetings to continue to pay their staff as normal during the lockdown. If this becomes a problem please contact Clerk to Employment Committee – Tricia Bradbury.
Coming out of lockdown
We do not know when or how this will happen but we will have to follow the government guidelines. Trustees Property Committee are looking at producing guidelines for Local Meetings when it is clear what we can do in our buildings. We know that it will not be ‘back to normal’ immediately.
