The city council has officially confirmed that Urban Strawberry Lunch will retain management of St Lukes Church. My focus now shifts to reviewing the new long-term lease agreement to ensure the site remains accessible to the public as promised.

St Luke's church has been opened up to the public by Urban Strawberry Lunch since 2006 We all know what's gone on there, as 1000's of us have attended the many activities they put on. Please support this petition to keep 'The Bombed out Church' in the care of USL an organisation which has strived to keep it open for the people of this city and it's many overseas visitors. Well done Ambrose and Liz keep the faith.

The reach of this petition has reached a level that warrants a formal request for a meeting with the city council. I am drafting a proposal now to outline why Urban Strawberry Lunch remains the most viable candidate for the stewardship of the site.

It's part of the community. Ambrose and Liz have turned into an accessible building to be used by all. They welcome everybody. Well done, and thankyou, Ambrose and Liz.

People can get married anywhere, this is an Iconic building, retreat, the people of liverpool respect what it stands for, it's open to everyone it's an escape from the hussle and bussel, to be used for anything else would see it's character deminish, just to be used as a backdrop for some wedding photos is degrading once or twice a week,

St Lukes is a war memorial, dedicated to the memory of those souls lost in the 1941 blitz, it must not be allowed to be hived off to the highest bidder.

please keep it as the memorial it is and don't redevelop the building. If Plymouth can keep St CCharles, we can keep St Luke's

this should be passed to U.S.L for all the good things they put on bringing a Liverpool community together from all back grounds they have worked so hard and kept this space alive

This is a well loved local landmark, currently looked after by a wonderful organisation Urban Strawberry Lunch. Don't let the politicians have their way and turn it into another development! Tx

USL has made the church into a living memorial, give them some money to help conserve it, and let them carry on the good work.
