St. Mary's Anglican Cathedral - why has it taken so long for work to start on the Restoration of our Cathedral?

Heather from Westown

The 'Daily News' reported on Wednesday 5 October 2023 that work was hopefully going to start soon on our (stone) Cathedral.

I thought we could re-start the Neighbourly conversation of a few week's ago, re: where has all the Money Raised from the Community Fundraising gone? The paper recorded that all the building work so far (on the Vicarage and the Brown Building next to it) amounted to $20 million! And the $5m from the Provisional Growth Fund would have gone into the mix for that too! As I believe all the Money has now been spent! I am most concerned that all the Funds given so Generously by the Public, by Philanthropists, by Businesses, by those with Tangible Connections to the Cathedral (eg having been Married there) were taken under false pretences! Over the past 6-7 years many of us were asked to Give what we could afford, towards the Restoration of the Cathedral - I remember it well - 2 ladies would go around all the various Groups in Taranaki and give a Speech asking for Financial help, showing the Plans etc. of How the Repairs to the Cathedral would be staged and how it would look in the Future! These Presentations did the job, and much Funds were Raised over several years! The City/Region were kept informed and we were all excited that soon, our Cathedral would once more be Open for Business? However, since approx. 2018, we've heard Nothing! And seen Nothing! What happened? Who was in Charge? Unless you were a 'Regular at the Interim Cathedral', we heard Nothing! But since many of the Funds came from Others 'Outside of the Church', they deserved to be kept Up to Date as well as everyone else. It is only this week (in 2023) that we have learnt Anything about the Progress of our Cathedral. Why? And why has so much of the Money Raised been Used for these other Projects (Vicarage and Brown Building) without the Approval or at least the knowledge of the People who thought they were Paying for the Cathedral itself NOT for other bits and pieces.....

Design doesn’t end at the bathroom door. It’s a great place to create some cool storage space in your independent living apartment. If you’re not a fan of various bottles littering the floor, try a shower stool. Plus, it’s a great place to sit while washing or to shave your legs.

Ladder shelves are very affordable and take up minimal room. They’re perfect for rolled towels and accessories that can live on the bottom shelves with more important products on the top.

Utilise the back of the bathroom door to hide towels, swimsuits and bathrobes by using some hanging hooks.
