How about this for an idea?

Instead of wasting brass on the market /front of town hall trying in vain to get accy to be a reclaimed tourist centre, we put forward a plan to reclaim our roads, a tram system!
We could do away with those silly EU investment 'traffic calming humps' and 'sticky out bus stops' return our roads to us because traffic would have to travel more carefully along our highways and byways if we had trams.

It would be better than buses, would actually encourage tourism, (I'd come here to travel on a tram), and the novelty effect would be good for the so called tourists, shops and even encourage business if we could be so forward thinking as to look back.

Ambitious, yes, far reaching, yes, far fetched? NO, we need to stand out, any monies we beg for should be spent showing we are different and worth investing in.
