Work begins at the West Door

The scaffolding has gone up as, as work begins to extend the entrance steps to include ramps providing access for all.

This work will take through until the Autumn - a long period necessitated by dividing the work into two halves, so that access to the Cathedral can be maintained during that period.

Together with the imminent scaffolding in the interior, it will mean a considerable disruption to the life of the Cathedral. However, these alterations will ensure that everyone can come through the main door - an important sign of welcome to God's House.
