Depends on how many cm's can be collected/tested in 1hr 10-20? even if they cost £10 there's £100-£200 that is cost effective. Someone could do the work part time, working odd hrs could suit someone that is looking for therapeutic work, the government would probably pay NTL for giving them short term employment + money to pay the persons wages (whatever they pay for the odd hrs a month so wage wise wouldnt cost NTL anything) NTL could give the person temporary use of a diesel van/car (more miles to the gallon).
More importantly it will give someone that has a minor disability confidence that they can & are able to work a few hrs a week.
