ok! We won the Casino Bid.

I have read (briefly) the 181 page report, yes the borough has been awarded the Small Casino License.
I have had a think about where in the borough it will be?UMM!

My bet is on the Futruist Site, my reasons are;
  • The sands dealis a done deal, the casino here will not affect the deal the council has already reached with benchmark, though benchmark can make a high monetary bid the council will have to take into other factors.
  • Whitby has not got a site that comes to mind, and it would be rather too near the middleborough Casino site, access to Whitby from the south is also an issue, so effectively a site in Whitby would be competing for the same punters as the middlesborough site.
  • Filey, nowwhee here is coming tomy mind.
  • The futurist is in desparate need of development why loose the opportunity of developing this site by wasting it on a development (sands) that will not be stopped without a casino as part of the deal.

So we will wait and see!

What do you think?
