1988: The Peterborough Evening Telegraph reported on this day that, despite city councillors having decided that extra security for city flats was needed to beat thieves, vandals, vagrants and the like, their £475,000 scheme for entry phones and electric locks for every flat would not be completed until 2004, unless extra cash was found.

The Meeting House was extended on the eastern end to enable the addition of disabled toilets and insertion of a staircase to create two rooms in the extensive loft space. This additional space enabled four rooms to be hired for meetings, etc. a facility that has become very valuable to many small groups from the Peterborough Community.
