Poll: What should happen to the cathedral?
In August, restoration of the Christ Church Cathedral was put on hold. Church leaders have no idea when work might restart.
Last year, the Government declined to provide further funding beyond $25 million, and the church, who had raised $24m in donations and contributed $49m including insurance, said further public support will be required to find the revenue required.
What do you think the next steps should be for the cathedral?

-
16.8% Keep waiting for more funding
-
29.7% Continue build, but with compromises
-
51.4% Demolish it!

2.2% Other - I'll share below
