Max Lewis says 'at which venue does the council propose to hold Party Central for the Rugby World Cup?”
What the hell has Rugby got to do with the council?
Why is it council's business to do anything for the Rugby world cup?
Sorry Max Lewis, but it is people asking stuff like this that drives your rates through the roof!
The answer should be:
Nothing - unless private enterprise wish to provide somewhere. then the council should do backward flips to ensure they get it off the ground and not place hurdles in their way.
Resulting in no compulsion (ie nobody forced to pay for rugby fans to be entertained).
No responsibility to pay for anything if it fails (which is more likely to happen if council do something) More chance of it succeeding because an investors money will be at stake.
What is it with people that keep demanding council do stuff for them? It is people's addiction and dependency on other people's money that is holding this place back. It is well overdue to become responsible for our own lives, wean yourselves off the state tit and stop encouraging them to interfere in your lives.
No doubt the new incumbents will want to hold a referendum on the subject though.
