The Community Council recently wrote to the Church of Scotland asking for more information about the Springfield Bequest, and also seeking assurances that any changes would not diminish the benefit to the community.

A response from General Trustees has been received.  Regrettably it does not provide any detail into the use the significant sum of more the £1million has been put to.  It also rejects that the community should have any input as to how it is spent.  Finally, it states that the combined parishes are the beneficiaries, not Springfield alone.

A copy of both letter is posted in the Display Box outside the shop.

The matter will be discussed at our next public meeting on 8th June 2016.
