Ossy church demolition

I have just found this news article about the Melbourne St 'church' (not of architectural value)
Oswaldtwistle church housing plan given thumbs up (From Lancashire Telegraph)

It says it is 'unused'.
I have always been under the impression that it was this 'church' who owns the land next to the Pet Warehouse nearby, which has been used as a car park and is now fenced off. Please advise me if you know different.

If the church is unused, why have they fenced off the land to build a replacement

I've had a postal vote since my twenties, at first for work reasons, and then for health reasons, can't remember the last time I voted at a polling station, St Pauls Ossy was the last one I used

My kids used to go to sunday school there when they were little. I thought it was still used for that.

Its always sad when a church gets pulled down, and then a mosque gets built.

Bye bye british heritage!

This isn't a church in the normal understanding of the word - more like a wood bungalow which was used by yankee style bible thumpers
