A CHARITY has launched a fundraising campaign to raise the money needed to buy a former Methodist Chapel, with the view of creating a new community hub. The Miners Lamp’s Crowdfunder follows a petition by Prudhoe Town Councillor Russ Greig, who is a trustee at the charity, to ‘save’ the building from development . The Ebenezer Methodist Chapel, in West Wylam, Prudhoe, has been marketed for sale by Foster Maddison and is billed as a ‘development opportunity’ – subject to planning and the lifting of covenants. “The Ebenezer Chapel is under threat. You can help us save it for the benefit of the community,” said Russ.
A man has been charged with attempted murder after he allegedly bashed a young woman with a sledgehammer in a five-star Sydney hotel.
Matthew Donaldson was found hiding in bushland in the Blue Mountains yesterday after allegedly bludgeoning a 25-year-old woman at the Primus Hotel in Sydney on Tuesday night.
Police allege the woman was left unconscious and covered in blood. She remains in an extremely serious but stable condition in the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
