Picton church demolition on hold

Never a dull day at the church demolition site in Picton.

Ministry of Labour officials issued a stop worker order against Jim Sinclair of Be Green recycling today.

Sinclair’s company had knocked down most of the former Methodist-Episcopal church that was still left standing on Wednesday, more than three weeks after he had started the job. He was cleaning up the site yesterday, to clear room to do more demolition, when he began having equipment problems. The reason for the Ministry’s stop work order wasn’t immediately available.
