£200,000 for Town Centres

I hope the money is well spent: http://www.nuneaton-news.co.uk/emergency-six-figure-sum-aims-to-breathe-fresh-life-into-town-centres/story-29711985-detail/story.html

£200k won't buy much, but the worrying part is that the money has been pledged with no plan of what to spend it on behind it. How can a responsible body do this? If I were a Nuneaton and Bedworth council tax payer I'd be playing merry hell about this.

You are right--it will be wasted.I don't think it should be spent on the town centre though. No-one wants to trade here for long and no-one comes any more --rents are too high.
