@Plum has explained very well why it needs to be working if possible. It’s much easier to market it as one part of the overall Maritime attractions. And it’s pennies anyway, mostly not paid by us or the Council. (But by an organisation that also want to make it work)
I understand that now. Hopefully they will get it working and it will be a great addition to what we already have. Perhaps I underestimated its importance but I certainly didn't mean to upset you by suggesting the money spent was wasted. I'm quite passionate about trying to make a difference to improve the city and do what I can myself in a small way. There are a lot of things money can be spent on and I didn't think this had much of a place however I'm happy to apologise having heard more from you and Plum. Certainly didn't meant to come across as lazy council bashing
Pair of tossers, could have had a four page ding dong. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
It's 60 metres up on top of the Guildhall and not worked for 100 years all it needed was a new coat of gold coloured paint. Once they decided to renovate and get it working again it drew media attention, most of it bad.
Orange will be along in a minute to stir the pot followed by our Aussie friend. You can set your clock by it, unlike the aformentioned time ball.
