Ironically to pay for the only bit that is continuing the maritime heritage. Maybe they should be paying us rather than using giving them the key to the Treasury and telling them to take what they want.

Not sure if I quoted it on this particular blog but somewhere on this Forum I suggested we wouldn't see much change out of +£100M for this 'project'. Nearly there.

Nearly there. As Derek F. has previously pointed out on here, as well as the "appreciating" construction costs, there's also the running costs which everybody seems to have been very quiet about too. Still, we'll have "full control" of our own sealinks when it's finished, that's the central plank of the argument, isn't it....? 🤢 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itsmeee Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Just listening to Jeremy Vine on Radio 2 talking about Liverpool losing UNESCO world heritage status. One of his contributors just accused Peel Holdings of being complicit in the loss of the status, even encouraging it in order to develop ferry terminal and other projects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 I'd suggest that UNESCO status has the signature of an ant on Peel Holding's radar. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new blocks which the UNESCO people hate reflect a modern positivity. Liverpool has spent far too much time competing for "City of ..." (this, that and the other) status over the years. It's not a museum. UNESCO do Biospheres as well apparently. Another complete waste of time and money I bet. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, having followed several knackered diesel engined vehicles this week and having had to drop back to stay out of the black smoke/ fumes I wonder how we ever got that accreditation in the first place. *"Dont worry, the pollution we produce will blow away to somewhere else" - quoted from IOM official spokesperson, *Likely response from comin Edited July 22, 2021 by Boris Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 What's the point in delaying the funding decision to October. Irrespective of any additional information supplied to members it will be voted through anyway. They won't leave it unfinished so it's not going to be blocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how the original Cost / Benefit analysis stacks up against figures in excess of 50 million, plus ongoing costs ?

NoTail Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Who actually owns this site? Not been following things closely but I think it is iom government which has taken a 99 year lease. Presumably on the grounds that the iomspc will pay whatever rent is necessary to cover the costs. If that is the case, if I were the Steamy I would be telling government that I will only pay a max of £x if they want more I will stop using Liverpool. Why spend so much money on a shed?
