During the Presentation Ceremony on 25th November at Porters, the Mayor’s Official Residence in Southend, Councillor David Norman said of the project: The first of the Awards this year in the New Build Category goes to Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Centre. The Panel thought this was an outstanding scheme with good detailing, with almost a cloistered feel; a seamless addition to the existing church. Both the building and the landscaping have a real feel of quality and were a positive addition to the street scene.
The Award was given to the Parish, the Architect and Contractor, but it is given and received on behalf of all those in the Parish who have contributed in any way to is successful fulfilment.
