Chris, comparing posts 250 and 252. you write here and there that £25,000 a year is not enough for an experienced stone mason, and at the same time that apprenticeships would need be included in the proposed development scheme.
Do you think an apprentice would receive anything near £25,000 a year?
More like £6 an hour mate!
However, an apprentice can also be offered something under £3 an hour, if they are young enough. I assume this is what you are trying to tell us all, that we should leave it to the developers, and that I am messing up their little business plans to rake in an enormous profit somewhere.
