Before any MHK proposes a use for the 42million, they should speak to people forced to use foodbanks and those waiting over three years for treatment. Then decide whether spending money installing Tesla power banks in the second homes is a justifiable use of public money Actually they're expecting us to pay for such frippery's ourselves! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Tim said hopeful twice and hopefully once so we are ok hopefully concerning any extra cash 😏 . To be fair the operation has gone too far to do anything more than grin and bear it and it will be advantageous to have our own terminal and new boat to cope with the 50,000 visitors we are hoping for, there goes that new buzz word again 😂.

I repeat something which made sense at 20 million (if it did) can't possibly fit the same business case at perhaps 100 million ! Oh yes it can. Mr Allinson will soon be presenting a plan for an additional 500,000 visitors, all arriving via the new Liverpool terminal. DoI will fast track the installation of the Horse Tram rails to the Sea Terminal in order to provide the attraction necessary to achieve this. Once this is inserted into the Business Plan the £100m will be seen to be the bargain it is. Edited March 2, 2022 by joebean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
