I have seen nothing apart from the statement by the local MP that central government contributed financially in any way to the ground solution. It appears to be a local council decision and contribution.
In the written and electronic propaganda that I regularly receive from North Lincs Council every penny they spend is presented as a special gift from the Tories so it’s hard to be sure what finance comes from council tax and central funding and what, if any, comes from additional or so called levelling up funding.
I did read somewhere, possibly from Max Bell that the whole council supported the solution so to claim it as a gift from the Tory party is stretching credibility.
In truth for once I don’t care where the money was sourced from. Inevitably it originated from the pockets of taxpayers. I am just delighted to have a club and a ground that are Swann and Hilton free zones.
I did raise a little smile that 6 months or so ago NLC allegedly told Hilton and Swann that outline planning permission on the land had lapsed but now the council are involved it has been magically re-granted.
