Dosh dished

The impending demise of the NWDA has produced one interesting item - a list of the projects they were considering part-funding, and now can't. It's extraordinary what the word "development" allowed the agency to contemplate. A full list can been found at Place North West.

English Half Marathon
Trafford Park Masterplan (surely that's a developer's job ?)
National Football Museum, URBIS
Regional Aero Park - Samlesbury - Phase II
St Annes public realm - Open Golf 2012
Manchester Ship Canal Aeration, Salford Quays (does lack of funding mean it'll pong near MediaCityUK ?)
Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral Arts Project
Trinity Mirror Transformation Project (I thought they were making money now...)

There's something of a medieval court here, considering petitions from the poor burghers, and graciously handing out groats. Probably time it was done differently.
