As parish council representative at the war memorial on Sunday I was both horrified and mortified that the clock chimes which we are responsible for were not functioning at 11 am on Sunday - a key moment in the annual calendar. We understand the church has been routinely switching off the chimes for bell ringing on a Thursday evening and these have not been switched on again until after church on Sunday - two and a half days. Given the efforts we made four years ago to ensure that the chimes were not silenced at any time this is amazing.
We have agreed the following actions regarding the failure of the church clock to chime on Sunday and during the 2 mins silence on Friday.
1. We write to the Royal British Legion apologising for this lapse in a piece of equipment we are responsible for and promising that we will ensure this does not happen again.
2. We request by letter and email that the church with immediate effect switches the chimes back on after bell-ringing on Thursday and leaves them on until bell-ringing on Sunday morning. They should then be switched on again immediately after the morning service. 3. We ask the clerk to put a letter into Cranfield Express (deadline end of this week) explaining our actions and the circumstances.
