• To obtain the best value for money for those who fund these services.
• To examine ways of making the most efficient and appropriate use of the Diocese’s property assets.
• To maintain the highest levels of professional integrity.

 

‘House care handbook for clergy’ 

The handbook has been revised to include the new policy on tree maintenance, tv aerials, emergency work etc. The document should help  improve the understanding of the service provided by the Property and Development Department for clergy and the responsibilities of maintaining and living in a parsonage for all parties. The document highlights the key areas encountered during occupation e.g. Quinquennials, decorations, repairs etc. and summaries in the appendix the repair responsibilities to improve clarity of the works undertaken by the department.
