In reply to Daywood: This is yet again an example of public money being used to allow a private company to benefit. High Sports are going to operate this at a profit to them, just like they do in some of the other walls they operate.
Why should public money be used to enable private companies to profit?
Whilst I understand that councils have to make facilities profitable and attractive it appears that a few companies benefit from the money spent on building facilities.
This has happened with Go Ape using forestry commission land to operate a private business, ok so they build the facility, however they directly benefit from land maintained by public money. I am sure that many small independent business would love to have machinery, supplies etc. bought for them or to have cheap rent paid for by the general public.....discuss
