Blackpool Labour Council already allocated 29 million of our taxes and committed to spend what ever it takes. When Multiveristy announced Council committed 9 million for acquisition of the site, and a 16 million loan to Blackpool & Fylde College. Another 4 million has been allocated from the Council Budget and commitment to spend whatever it takes.

How reckless is this considering the 7 million hole in the annual budget and a reserve of only 76,000 remain?

Blackpool Council 2/3 Billion in debt by 2026 and loaned out over 200 million to business of which over 100 million was to their own businesses.

Was this additional waste of money a result of the planned Public Inquiry to held at the Imperial Hotel November and December.

A clear land grab with the use of the power of the state. King Council employed at our expense against some people who have issues with literacy. Many on benefits using food banks against a Labour Council already allocated 29 million of our taxes and committed to spend what ever it takes.

People are happy with the new building, but unhappy that Blackpool council are not using the three sites that are available to build straight away. More importantly why not the area allocated 15 years ago for future development and which they purchased about 40 to 50% over those years.
