Steve Double, Conservative Parliamentary Candidate has welcomed today’s announcement of £55,100 funding for repairs to St Carantoc church in Crantock.
These repairs will also help to prevent further damage to these buildings – ensuring they are preserved for generations to come.
Steve said:
‘I’m delighted to hear Crantock Parish Church has got £55,100 of funding for repairs’
‘St Carantoc is one of our most historic local churches and an important part of our community in Crantock and this money will help ensure it’s there for future generations.
‘The only reason we can afford this investment is because of the action Conservatives have taken to fix the economy. Labour’s plans would mean economic chaos – and Britain unable to afford this kind of work to protect our national heritage.’
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said:
‘Churches and Cathedrals are a unique part of our national heritage, and play a vital role in community life – we want to support them, and thanks to our long-term economic plan, we can.
‘Whether it’s our country’s future or these important buildings, the sun is shining and we’re starting to fix the roof.’
