I feel sorry for the town.

The defenses will cost £30m but are described as complex so I suspect they would cost more. They've secured £15m (haven't said form where) and want the Government to fund the other £15m.

It doesn't sound like a lot but the problem is when funding is tight can you justify £15m for the town centre of a town of 5000 (not even for all residents either) when likely there are other projects across the country that might make bigger impacts with the same money.

It's tough but this is not a zero sum game, it's a horrendously complex picture of many projects competing for scant funding. I do hope they get the money they need though.
