  I would have preferred the money being spent on our high street.

  
  
  On what? Just look at the failure of the Mary Portas spending (£1.2m of taxpayers' cash seeing an increase in empty shopping outlets https://www.theguardian.com/business/2013/may/29/high-streets-shrink-mary-portas).
  
  I can't think of one successful High Street in the country which is successful 'because' of council spending, they are usually successful with a mixture of demographics, urban environment, physical geography, zeitgeist and pure damn luck.
  
  'Shopping' and the experience of going shopping is a lot more than merely 'shops'.
