Garden's £1.9m debt is wiped out

BBC NEWS | Wales | Garden's £1.9m debt is wiped out: "Garden's £1.9m debt is wiped out
Glass house, National Botanic Garden
The garden negotiated with the assembly government for months
The National Botanic Garden of Wales is to receive up to £1.9m extra public money to pay off its debt.

Deputy First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones said it was a one-off grant to put the £43m garden on a sound financial footing to attract private investment.

The money it receives each year from the assembly government will rise from £150,000 to up to £550,000.

Managers of the garden at Llanarthne in Carmarthenshire welcomed it as a 'monumental milestone'."
***************

Let us hope that this will be the final solution to what has been a 'monumental waste' of taxpayers money and a 'monumental lack of direction' in this 'monument to Millennium Dome Mentality'.
