Parliament House revamp costs
Dan McDougall in the Scotsman reports on the rising costs and delays to the redevelopment of Parliament House (including Scotland’s High Court and Court of Session). The Scottish Court Service has stopped the work for six months to review the project, now costed at GBP 133.6 million.
Without knowing anything about the background to the project - it may well be that the money is needed to preserve important and historic buildings that are part of our heritage - it is remarkable that huge sums of money are again being spent to ensure that a prominent section of the Edinburgh establishment have a comfortable working environment, while the need for new public facilities - hospitals, schools, prisons, arts centres etc. - is neglected.
