And in the meantime the people of Accrington will be lumbered with another expensive white elephant to maintain while the local regeneration circus moves on and develops even wilder and more expensive ways of spending public money. Still, the vandals will enjoy trashing it, so I suppose that it won't be entirely wasted.

On anything other than the regional park I think I would be cautious. The Regional Park thingy tho, you have to weight up just whose prepared to run with it and put some brass in and clued up they are to it lasting.
Sadly quango short term-itus is a 20 year British disease and unfortunately nowadays its about weighting it up and taking your chances. I know from the funding I have been involved with the Reg Park seems a green light go-er. An example is REMADE funding.
Even Lord Britcliffe doesn't know all this stuff..
