To be fair to the council, they've spent a lot of our money restoring the city. My concern is that too much money is spent with one developer and we're dependent on him. I'm not implying impropriety, but I don't think it's good practice.

As far as I know, St Johns church is still in use and I would have thought it incumbent on the Catholic church to tip up the money for any renovation?

Perhaps some of the money being spent on 'rejuvenating' Coventry could be diverted to restoring these buildings: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventrys-historic-sites-risk-being-22152560
