I read that in the paper.
My guess is that the officers involved will be cursing the Councillors responsible for releasing the story. These big bids can be hard to get and failure often ends up with the public moaning on about the failure for years to come.
Been there and heard the moaning with the park.
I wish them the best of luck with the bid and hope they manage to pull it off, I like seeing external money being used to improve the area especially when local firms are used for the work.
