No doubt advertising is going to play a big part in this and councils will get a big fat payoff.

How can anyone even begin to think that is a good idea that won't cause a storm of protest? I can't believe this isn't some kind of hallucination or bad joke.
our town got one of them and guess what it not making money infact it is costing the tax payers.

on a side note anyone seen the new friends reunited ad, does it remind you of another company?
