Bamber Bridge Pentecostal Church wanted to demolish its existing base on Chorley Road and replace it with a new two-storey building which would have been 32ft (10m) at its highest point.

Leaders of Bamber Bridge Pentecostal Church want permission to demolish the current place of worship in Chorley Road, Walton-le-Dale, and buld a new two-storey church building in its place.

The blessing itself (which is short) takes place at 12.30pm, although if you like, you can also attend a service at either church beforehand, then join a procession to the bridge. It's free to attend.
