Can't believe it! This would never happen to any other religious place of worship... Unfortuneately in todays society the younger generation do not go to church therefore this is what happens. I think schools and parents have a responsibility to teach their children about religion, if this was the case more people would go to church and have more respect for others.

A new church will probably cost c.£750K and will provide a fraction of the accommodation.
The ground floor of the hall, renovated and refurbished, will house a 5 consulting room surgery. Portsmouth CC should look again at the grossly expensive 'Hub' proposal, the cost of which is c£12M.Why not spend £1M on St. Peter's and support the efforts of the local community.
