Bishop's beach idea for Cathedral Square

By: Newstalk ZB staff | Latest Christchurch News | Thursday March 1 2012 10:05

 

There are fears Christchurch's Anglican Bishop maybe paving the way for ChristChurch Cathedral to be demolished.

Bishop Victoria Mathews has suggested a beach and movie screen should be built in Cathedral Square.

Christchurch City councillor Aaron Keown says he's disturbed by the language coming from the church, which he says should totally be saved.

He says he's been through it with engineers who were shocked there was even a discussion the building would be lost.

"I'll tell you what, it's over my dead body that cathedral will be pulled down, I would go in there and chain myself to it.

"I love that building, I love it being in the middle of my city."

The Anglican Church has indicated more details on the Cathedral could come out tomorrow.
