Attached is a copy of the CCC survey currently being conducted which can be filled in and sent back, or parishioners may wish to undertake the survey at www.ccc.govt.nz/the-council/have-your-say/consultations/show/15  The Council have also extended an invitation to attend feedback sessions.

Heritage New Zealand:

CPT has just received confirmation that Heritage New Zealand has reviewed the listing of St Saviour’s at Holy Trinity, Lyttleton.  Following the church’s move back to Lyttleton from Cathedral Grammar, and the restoration work undertaken by the parish, contractors and the CPT Recovery team, the listing has been ‘upgraded’ from Category II to Category I.  This is a rare honour and all involved can be very proud of the work that has gone into this project.
