ST AUGUSTINE’S CHURCH CLOCK is a landmark across the town. Many people use the clock and its bell chimes as they go about their daily business and
so have missed the useful timepiece since it got stuck at 12 O’Clock.
Hedon Town Council have been informed that the company carrying out the routine maintenance and other work on the church Clock have encountered a problem, in that one of the cog-wheels that was cut, is not up to the required standard and that a new machine will have to be purchased to do the work. This will put the work back a number of weeks.
A letter is to be sent to the company expressing the Council’s disappointment and concerns at the length of time this work is taking. Therefore unfortunately the clock will not be working at Christmas or on New Years Eve!
Our latest information is that the clock will be working on Monday 23rd January
