They do not have to borrow, council could use money from the capital account.

Same difference - in these straightened times, with LA's under pressure in all sorts of areas, and their undoubted antipathy towards the club and the project, I can't see them doing it; but hey, the wrist-slap for YC was a pleasant surprise, so you never know - I may be wrong!

I think it was an offer from Michael Carter to pay the interest and the council get the money back from the developer to pay off the capital. A free loan in terms of the public purse.

That's how I remember it too. Despite the fact that IF WMDC had fully backed the NM scheme / re-vamped BV (freeing up additional land at NM) and it not actually costing WMDC a penny (just relying on them to ensure that NM went ahead as agreed, I'm not sure that it went down well within Box's inner circle.

Good idea Fordy but we need to add back in the Newcold development which we believe should have contributed to the trigger so :

C = 46,000/60,000 * £19m = [u£14.56m[/u

Only an approximate figure but we are nearly there.

Ill be tuning into the council cabinet meeting today at 10:30 to see if Box has anything to say about the issue, if he does ill post it on here.

Im expecting the usual 'we are doing all we can' nonsense.
