Money Hole


Today there's news of an extra £250,000 top up for this place, on top of its annual increased grants from the Arts Council. That's £1.75 million in hand outs in the last four years. In February 2011 I wrote "No doubt there will be appeals for more public money to be spent on this place and no doubt more will be spent." Well I told you so ... Seems there's no-one with the balls to shut this place down, (it should never have been built in the first place!) especially not now there's the city of culture creeping closer.

  1. I take it Hull Truck is the name of the company that bought the branding rights. Very tacky.

    1. I don't know about that but Hull Truck is considered to be 'iconic' and therefore politically untouchable.
