One wonders if the council have done their sums on this. Is it intended to be a revenue-enhancment exercise, and if so by how much? Or is the operator of of this ride bearing the risk that ride sales will exceed the costs of transport from Italy, UK insurance, daily running costs, etc. If its the latter, then "fair" enough; but if it is the former, I really would want to know what HBC is doing involved in this sort of venture on the flimsiest possible pretence.
