LETTERS: This '˜flagship' sounds pricey
It’s not clear what exactly a ‘flagship restaurant’ is, but it suggests expensive meals for exclusive customers; competing with existing restaurants. An assertive building would clash with the historic Wish Tower itself. Thus the net contribution to the town’s amenities or economy will not be great. If there were a business case, it should attract enough investment from the ‘flagship’ business, and not need a handout of public money.
The pier itself might be a better location for a ‘flagship restaurant’. Even so, the council’s performance as landlord of the former Wish Tower Restaurant doesn’t inspire confidence and supporting a posh restaurant doesn’t seem a proper way of using £1.2 million of public money.
