Have you even bothered reading my posts min? For Fuck FFS sake here we go again! One more time for those with selective hearing.
Cost of project: £140m (and the rest)
Money being offered by Mannie Wood: £50m plus up to £35m if it goes over budget (and it will.)
I'm no Asian but I still think I'm getting my maths correct here:
£140m
-£50m
=£90m
NINETY FUCKING MILLION. Who's "offering this up"? The cooncil has to find it from somewhere.
What I've struggled to grasp, Kow, is why people seem to think the whole lot is being paid for privately when it just fucking isn't. (not saying you specifically think this, like.) And unless 100% of the cost comes from private investment (LOL) it's going to be taking funding away from other much more worthwhile causes. It's not happening because we can't afford it. The funding isn't there. If the whole project was being covered it'd be half finished by now.
