Demolition of Church Begins
04 March 2011 by Hamst
The demolition of St. Andrews Church on Old Brumby Street got under way this week with the Church Manse being first to succumb to the bulldozer. The clearance of the site is to make way for a A �3.5 MILLION care home to be built for by Kapil Care Homes Ltd.

It is antisipated the care home will create around 60 new jobs in the 62-bedroom home . The Church was last used as a house of worship in 2002 when a falling congregation saw the worshippers join with the nearby St. Marks Church on Ashby Road to form the Brumby United Church. It was later used by a local boxing club for training in.
Residents living nearby had questioned the suitability of the development for their street, and claimed the plans could bring traffic chaos, being a blot on the landscape, and not at all in keeping with the local area.
The care home is said to be due to open in 2012.
