So basically they've completely fucked the bus station, and now will have to buy more land off network rail to ensure that it goes ahead. This will be mega expensive, and they are relying on funding from Welsh Government (i.e., us) the taxpayer, again, to bail them out.pic.twitter.com/nv34bxSKuz
The construction of central square interchange has gone massively over-budget and the developer is now billing the council for the costs incurred, which are so significant that the council had to use next year's budget (2018/19) to pay for them. Incredible.pic.twitter.com/nbH5Ba08mL
Point 26- do we have this right: so much money has been pumped into central square that if it goes tits up the council won't be able to do anything else around the city?pic.twitter.com/UfrZQNELWJ
Updated document from March this year. Welsh Government & Transport for Wales now fully involved in funding the bus station to ensure that the poor developer doesn't shoulder any risk. Cycle hub been moved btw, lol. https://cardiff.moderngov.co.uk/documents/s21003/Bus%20Station%20Report%20FINAL.pdf …
What is this, if not corruption/collusion? Russell Goodway, Neil Hanratty, the same figures over & over. Rightacres property company. The council & welsh government shouldering the risk, property developers taking no risk, and threatening to pull out unless council assumes risks.
All the proposals in the July 2017 document went ahead- saunders road site got bought by the welsh government. So council paid 9 million for the NCP carpark, but then basically this wasn't enough so had to buy more land. What risk have rightacres shouldered?
Rightacres are Cardiff council's developer of choice. They're going to build the new quarter on the site of the Brains brewery. St Rhodri Morgan got given 2k by them back in the day as part of his leadership campaign.pic.twitter.com/KQ4X3dBzAo
Welsh Lab elected reps need a major injection of new blood.
Well that comes from agitation within the party surely, but it doesn't seem to be happening at all.
