If it is indeed for restoration then I for one think that it's long overdue. The top church has been seriously eroding over the past years. I hope they can save some of the floor in both the church and the court yard.

A local to Kaya who grew up there, said there are less buildings in the ghost village now because they are crumbling.  So, something needs doing.  Its up for debate as to how much it needs restoring or developing.

I really hope it can be restored, its part of the area's history.  Would hate to see it developed :(
