What is the use of scheduling buildings?

On September 22, The Times published a photo of the entrance archway of the lovely Santa Maria Addolorata cemetery. Mepa has scheduled it as Grade 1.

A full write-up was published praising the architect in planning this in a neo-gothic style, also informing one and all that it was registered as a National Monument as per Government Gazette number 628/08.

What is the use of grading as No. 1 when the architecture, the stonework, archways and the chapel plus the roads as being left in shambles? Unless immediate action is taken, there will be nothing to grade.

It is the moral duty of Mepa to not only grade but also look after one of our precious monuments.
