The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Carntyne Parish Church on being presented with the 2022 John Betjeman Award (Scotland) for the first phase of its Church Refurbishment Project; notes that the award was created by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), which aims to recognise excellence in the repair of places of worship of all denominations and faiths in the UK and Ireland; understands that the award is named in honour of poet and conservationist Sir John Betjeman, who was a committee member of SPAB for 25 years; acknowledges that Carntyne Church opened in 1932 and is a Category B-listed building; understands that the first phase of the Church Refurbishment Project dealt with water ingress and damage to the fabric of the building, while phase two covers internal upgrades and modifications to the building, and further understands that the award was presented at a ceremony in London in November 2022 by Kevin McCloud, the presenter of Channel Four’s Grand Designs.
