Details of the Community Centre project are seeping out slowly.Like a leaking sewerage pipe what is seeping out has a bit of a smell about it.
For our £3.5million you would expect a state of the art facility with no corners cut but unfortunately the whole project is being run by people who to quote Alan Sugar just don't have a "bloody clue" so I think our expectations are a bit optimistic to say the least.Alan Hooper who is nominally the Director and Secretary of CCA2010 has admitted all the figures are just guesswork and no one has actually seen the business plan or accounts of the project.It would appear that Hooper is just a useful idiot character whose job is to divert the flak from the people who are actually pulling the strings.When it all goes tits up ,as it will eventually,who do we think will get the blame Alan Hooper or Chantal Wilson who is the Chairman of CCA 2010 and wife of poor old Clive (dunn) Wilson.
So lets see what we are getting for the same price as a boat like the one pictured above.
Lovely wooden roof support beams? -Not a chance they are concrete.
Air conditioning for those hot balmy summer days-Not a chance.Open the windows.
Kitchen on the ground floor-Not a chance.Plating up area only.
Super duper heating system-Not a chance commercial gas fired heating.
Huge Car Park-Nope.A few parking spaces for cripples and staff only.
Theatre suitable for professional shows-No only suitable for amateur productions.
So there you have it the community centre which will be a concrete structure with no luxuries is going to cost the same as a state of the art luxurious boat shown above.I know they cant be compared really because one is huge waste of money and the other is a luxurious boat but its a fair illustration of what £3.5 million excluding VAT will buy.
