Not all I am sure .. still be adding .. will have to await further detailed plans.. may even put lovely tiger skin cushions on the seats to keep that cute bum of yours at a level temperature ... :D

But it might be 15 years before they do that bit!

I guess I'm the sort of person who always thinks ahead, and sees the bigger picture, and not the sort of person to spend nearly half a million quid on something that will be obsolete.

It would be great if politicans saw the bigger, long term picture, and not just thought in terms that are dictated as to when the next election is.

So you really think our Councillors improved Broadway just to gain votes at the next election then ?

More likely to have lost them votes I should think.

They don't do anything they think will lose them votes, that's just a by-product of incompetence.

I still think planning should be thought of in the long term.

£400,000 isn't a triffling amount. It could set up half a local council run community website, or buy an interesting artefact for a local museum.:D

If and when the go ahead is given, one would hope the proposal would be finished in fifteen years. The newly refurbished Broadway would of course be decimated well before that, if the plans go ahead.

Thank you for that information, but are you saying HBC prepared a brief for the tenderees? also that the fee is not the main consideration when choosing the 'winner'.
Looks as though we are talking about a 'preferred partner/developer' here.
