HOW can the cathedral justify spending £700,000 on its lantern tower which in its own right is ugly and does nothing to complement the period structure
Above all, it is unbelievable that it can cost even more to take it down. I accept repairs are needed, maybe even a dome?
The money or part could be spent on other areas of the cathedral, especially ramps at the top part of the altar to allow wheelchairs access to the prayer chapels.
