Resurfacing Work Complete At Church Car Park In Coventry

Construction News Image
Balfour Beatty has completed resurfacing work at a church car park in Coventry.

Bethel Church in Spon End Coventry needed improvements to its car park and Balfour Beatty agreed to tarmac the area, to make access a lot easier.

The work forms part of the construction company's social value work.

Joshua Kindness, Pastor at Bethel Church, said: "We can't thank Balfour Beatty enough for their generosity in resurfacing the church car park!

"This will have such a positive impact for all the community groups that use the church and for the wider community who make use of the car park as well."

Businesses working in Coventry have often helped local communities in Coventry and the support shown to the church follows recent transport improvements by Balfour Beatty in Spon End and at Junction 7 of the Coventry Ring Road.

Cllr David Welsh, Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities, said: "It was great to visit Bethel Church and see the improvements.

"There have been many examples of companies and businesses offering support to local community projects across Coventry and this is yet another positive example. I’d like to pass on my thanks to Balfour Beatty.

"Our community team at the Council are always happy to make connections between businesses and community projects."
