Max Power Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 The Braddan ratepayers don't contribute to any of the facilities in Douglas, mind you there's very little left to contribute to is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallMeCurious Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 So 52% over budget and kissing the ass of £10 million? 25 jobs @ £400,000 each. Bargain!. Wonder what the excuse was? War in Ukraine? Covid? Too hot? Too cold? Too wet? WW2 bomb? And that's not even including the interest and running costs... 20% rate rise might be the least of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Encouragement from the previous sitting MHKs for Middle perhaps? Massaging egos to look important? 25 jobs - high tech, high skilled and big salaried (excluding the dental practice which no doubt will be private, when there is a shortage of NHS dentists) jobs? I am not calling job creation as it’s a good thing but your statistics are spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADELE Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 They are asking permission from the Government to borrow it from a bank, Jessop reckons the businesses in the Braddan area should pay an increased rate to cushion the householders contribution. I am sure that will go down well. This has white elephant written all over it. Vanity project by Braddan Commissioners led by a ninconpoop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bees Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 It’s a great asset for the whole island, everyone knows building materials and labour costs have rocketed since Covid, there are worse things to moan about. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree if it was in either the north or the south, but the fact you can see an already under utilised sports centre from this site shows you the folly of the project. At least it will have solar, ev charging and heat pumps which the greens can fawn over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
