Wake Up Call Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Won't a new casino on the Island mean some competition for the other casino? Surely that must be out of step with normal policy, freedom of choice and all that??? What will the fat bloke have to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William_Hartnell Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 We’re in dire need of a new casino. The Hilton is great for a few drinks post-session and a few quid here and there but it’s not somewhere I could ever imagine having an proper gamble and evening out if only for the hordes of stumbling drunks at the weekend that have been refused admittance everywhere else. A decent sized bar, a restaurant that’s not overlooking the slot machines and a smart atmosphere with decent service and it would be a winner. On the apartments I’d have to ask the question how many of these would actually be available for annual short-term holiday rental and would any be sold off on a longer term leasehold?

jehovah Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 So, let's see. A gets the second licence for his casino/aparthotel at Mount Muddle in advance of the planning application. Value goes through the roof and the company planning the Lord Street hotel/casino buy the plot and plans. 40 yrs later at the derelict site near the derelict bus terminal a planning application, now known as a 'brown envelope' development, for 3000 one roomed flats for the local authority, now known as Christian and co, is awarded to the Dept of works, now known as D*****a holdings. Win win situation. Just guessing, no proof whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeky boy Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Interesting to note that part of the development was for an"aparthotel" Wonder if this will end up like the "holiday homes" on the same site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
