What are they talking about ?! Sounds like crossed wires. I’d guess it’s the Yorkcourt cash which I presume has been held by the council for whatever reason? This I assume has now been released ready to pay the developer. Something like that at a guess. I certainly don’t think it’s an extra 8 million, unfortunately.

That’s a massive hurdle we’ve just got over, the whole project rested on this money winging its way via the council from the developers , better Late than never I say

As far as I know the money has been in place for a while. I think this is old news repackaged tbh.

I agree however JM said a week or so ago the delivery plan had been submitted I believe the plan has been approved and the funds released/allocated

Yes I think that article is about what John said about that delivery plan and waiting for that to be passed which I think that's what this is referring to that now it's sorted and we can now proceed with the demolition on the 4th July after wigan game

PWC has many arms, not always popular as they deal with companies in trouble and audits but I have worked with the a lot and I can say with a lot of certainty they don't employ mugs. If Minnards was a partner then he's a great addition to our board who can easily match it with councillors and building contractors. More so than MC to be honest.

I Know PWC as an organisation well and dealt directly with many of their tentacles... as with many other of the big consultancies particularly KPMG and EY... they are huge international companies who I've crossed paths with in the UK, Emirates, Hong Kong and Australia... always from the client side
