NEVER MIND THE WASTE OF TIME: WHAT ABOUT THE WASTE OF MONEY: Interestingly, it's now turning out that Liverpool regeneration bosses knew two years before the scheme was axed that the Fourth Grace would never be built - in other words, before the expensive sham of a competition to choose a design, the expensive sham of a public consultation (the results of which were ignored anyway) and the burning up of cash on promoting the project. Even more unpleasant is that the "Cloud" formed the heart of the Liverpool bid for City of Culture in 2008 - even although those in charge knew it was almost certainly never going to happen.
If I was a member of the Gateshead/Newcastle team - who had actual, completed and half completed facilities at the heart of their bid - I'd be absolutely livid right now.
