in principle i agree with this levi but am deeply suspicious of the gov ,any gov ,in dealing with private companies to fulfill promises made to the voters
i can almost hear the companies who will carry out the work raising the cost of doing these works ,what cost X pounds last year will be alot more expensive post announcement ,for no good reason apart from the fact that the work has to done and the gov is going pay so it's blank cheque time
i would be alot more happy if the guv researched the cost properly i.e compared past prices to the quotes they will get
working with local authority housing regeneration as i do i am only to aware of how much prices shoot up as soon as government funding is mentioned
as long as the tax payer doesn't get fleeced by a load of suits with brown envelopes i am all for this scheme as it will drag the uk into the 21st century
