The historic Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Christchurch is going to be demolished.

Catholic bishop Paul Martin said the 113-year-old building was too expensive to restore and favoured demolishing the cathedral and building a new one for about $40 million on a site closer to the city centre.

He said the earthquake-damaged building on Barbadoes St would cost about $149m to fully restore, while just saving the central part of the building would cost $91m and not be fit for purpose.

The Phillipstown Community Centre Charitable Trust spoke yesterday at the Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board Meeting regarding the future of Lancaster Park.

Research has shown the importance of “third places” – public places are vital and create more opportunities for community development.

We ask for the Phillipstown community to be involved in the planning of Lancaster park’s future. Involved communities lead to empowered communities that leads to a sense of community ownership. When there is greater community empowerment and ownership there is less anti-social behaviour and a greater sense of safety.
