I wish them well, but £1,000,000 won't go far. That said, any money being spent to improve areas has to be a good thing.

An image of the fanzone's been released. I wonder if it's going to be used as a supermarket distribution centre off the M^ afterwards?

If that is verifiable it's a great result, though doubt is cast upon it further down the page.
