PRIME Minister Theresa May took time out of her busy campaign schedule to officially open a new parish hall in Sonning on Sunday morning.

The Conservative candidate for Maidenhead constituency, which covers Twyford, Wargrave and her home village of Sonning, attended a service before officially opening the new church and community hall, named The Ark, alongside the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey.

The Vicar, the Revd. Jamie Taylor said: “We need space for our new outreach programme which will include a pensioners’ lunch club and youth club and also for our growing Sunday school. The Ark has given us the facilities we need and we now look forward to getting started.”
