Any plans, for when the pod brakes fail, and it (with everyone inside) plummets to earth..?
Are there any cushions at the bottom? airbags? insurance..?
If i360 such a good thing, WHY is the council having to underwrite the loan?
Could set a dangerous precedent, opening themselves up to legal action, if don't back other schemes wanting funds..?
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I360 - "The projected cost of the tower is £46 million, with £36 million being funded by a loan from Brighton and Hove city council.."
So, taxpayer money being used up front, with hope of making ££ down the line eh?
Are council tax payers footing bill for this, until it's open?
There maybe an initial flurry of visitors, but then the costs of a 'ride' will have to come down, to attract more in the long term..
I can see B&H council writing off some/all of the loan to the operator.
