The post you are reporting:
Paul, the sum of £15 million to bring the Western Heights historical sites up to scratch was mentioned on the thread, by Ray Newsam so it was.
So figure out my points here:
If one qualified worker on a contract with a Western Heights related authority received £25.000 a year, times that by 40, you have £1 million.
So 40 workers could do a 2 year contract on Western Heights for £2 million, at £25,000 a year each. Add £50.000 for a new transport van, a few ten thousand pounds here and there for equipment such as scaffolding and machinery, and you are still at £2 million plus, say, £200.000.
That is much cheaper than paying 15 million pounds to a developer and building hundreds of houses and a hotel in the process. Hence my proposal, ask for a funding to employ workers on a contract to carry out the necessary reparation works, be it repairing walls, gardening, painting or whatever.
But of-course, if you simply don't want to see this point, then perhaps other readers will see it, and take it further. It certainly would serve as a realistic proposal to avoid building houses all over the Heights.
