Have just read that after spending £4.9m on refurbishment it will soon be reopening. How on earth can this ammount be spent. ? This it said is just for internal works

Things are expensive. That flat pack Fan Zone at the AMEX cost 7m.

You don’t get much change from £5m once you’ve put in the essentials

State of the art gym equipment, new pool tables and high end kitchens aren’t cheap!!

Your personal coat rack cost a small fortune

I heard most of that was spent on an extra long hose pipe that can reach anywhere within a 5 mile radius

"Easements" of the monetary kind.

Also those fitted in the fire station.

Actually I would like my fire stations done on the cheap, not like its meant to save anyone's life or anything.

I'm quite content with the fire brigade having high quality facilities to be honest

You literally cheer on men kicking a ball around for 90minutes being paid £100k a week

Where's Fireman Dan when you need him?

Also, ridiculous they own expensive real estate in the centre of the city. Why not sell it and relocate somewhere in the suburbs where it's cheaper?

Too busy "folding it in"

Here's a lot more context and details of the improvements, the contribution it makes to keeping the city safe and why they've included a community space in there (presumably for things like school visits and to teach the community fire safety/increase connection etc)

So what did you think of the alterations to the site when you visited? I'm sure that you took advantage of the offer to undertake a guided tour, when the explanations regarding what chages they made, and why, were available recently.
It's not like anyone on NSC would just read a headline and start a new thread, is it?
