Following the news that planning approval had been given, Theresa said:
"This decision by the Council is very good news. Eruv's are much valued by many in the Orthodox Jewish community. For example, the elderly may often find the flexibility provided by an eruv can provide real help in enabling them to observe religious tradition."
"Parents of young children can also find an eruv makes it easier to combine religious observance with the practicalities of modern family life."
“I thank Rabbi Barry Lerer for his initiative and perseverance in this application and the council for approving it.”
