Following a request from those firms tendering for work on the cathedral roof , and because of the recent bad weather the cathedral authorities have put back the tender closing date by two week to January 7th.
A decision on who will undertake the work will be made in early in the week following January 7th.
Commenting on the decision Cathedral Administrator Brian Cox said, “What is two weeks after we have waited nearly 5 years. It is worth waiting a couple of weeks to be sure we get the right people to do the job”.
Five local builders have expressed an interest to work on the Cathedral roof, they must now submit detailed proposals over Christmas.
Work is expected to start on half of the roof by the end of January at a cost of half a million pounds. In a separate announcement it has been disclosed that over £100,000 was raised in 2010
