1.2 million pounds to be shared between 12 towns

[PeteMorris]

On the news this moring the government have announced that a whopping 1.2 million pounds is to be shared between 12 named towns to regenerate their local high streets! WOW.

 

That's 100,000 pounds each.!!!!!...WOW

 

It aint gonna make the slightest difference. Is it?

When i first heard it i thought it was 1.2 billion.

1.2 million wont do squat when its shared between so many towns.

[Kerrangaroo]

It might pay for advertising a planned high street refurb (which wouldn't come about through a lack of funding)

[PeteMorris]

I agree with Abdulla...it won't do diddly-squat

My god. What a country we live in.

 

Turning their noses at £100k.

 

I would be very interested to see what towns are nominated to receive this. In a small run down town a £100,000 grant could do lots of good things.

 

I am pretty convinced the government was not prepared to build in mini meadowhall on every failing high street but more access and structure improvements, cleaning and asthetic improvements which would benefit marketing the town centre or just a general boost to a small town's funding.

 

Would £100k not make a significant change to your lives? If not. I think you need to take a good look at yourself.

You can get a 'how to wash your hands' video from the Council for £100,000.

to most on here it probably would, though most on here are people(ish) not high streets.

Yep!!!!..For me personally it would make a huge life changing difference. A high street?...Nope!
