Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
Like I said, don't think that I'm in any way against the theatre simply because it isn't a Labour project or anything so superficial. I genuinely hope that it proves a long-term success in just the same way that I want the Market Hall to work but the way money is being organised at Scaitcliffe House to pay for such things is truly shocking.
If I had control of the purse strings then neither project would be threatened but there would be far more long-term planning and budgetary reviews than simply standing up and saying 'I've spent £1m on this, aren't I wonderful?'
The Market Hall is a very good case in point. It looks superb for the most part but the actual administration of it is utterly shambolic and I'm trying to find out just how much money is being wasted on it each month by having a layer of management that we simply don't need.
The market traders are the heart and soul of it so drive them away and what have we got left?
