Probably some friend ,of a friend ,of a friend and a tasty brown envelope for services rendered... Think what you could do with £400k(Or what the Council could do with £400k),it's a serious amount of money!!
Don't know. It's a specialised job and if involved re-engineering new parts, calibration etc it would be thousands of hours of work for a handful of professionals in the UK with specialist knowledge and specialised machine work. How much is spent on consultants to have management meetings.. it's a lot of money but relative. It's being fixed as part of the guarantee.
Why do we even need it fixing though? Surely it does need to work anymore and can just be in situ as a tourist attraction? As Ric has said, 400k would go along way with community projects or other ways to improve the City centre.
Fairly sure Radio H*mberside reported last week that it has modern workings, it's raised by magnets, steady Ric. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Warm here, I might water the garden with the hosepipe for a few hours. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
£400k would go nowhere to improve the City Centre. Might do a fair amount on community projects but I still think refurbishing it was the right thing to do. What are we supposed to do just ignore our heritage and buy something plastic and shiny instead?
I'm not saying get rid of it Dennis. Just asking why it needs to be working? Can't it just sit in one position now and be part of the tourist/heritage of the city? Its not being used by ships to set their clock anymore is it?
Can't see what the drama's about to be honest.. According to the article it was out of action for a century prior to the £400k makeover in 2023?
