Labour: fighting for you across Croydon and Sutton
The Croydon Guardian has revealed the level of bailout that the Croydon Tories have handed to the private firm that is behind the new Luxury HQ. This is because the private markets refused to lend to the joint company at viable interest rates
The incompetent Tories have now propped up this joint company with £145million of taxpayer cash. If they were being sensible they would now scrap the joint deal and instead revert to a traditional model of building. This is a perfect time to scrap the project.
They now have a 'half cow half pig' that is on life support provided by Croydon Council. All the risk has been transferred to the Council.
The private partner keeps the build contract and half the profit from the development. Profit paid for by the taxpayer in subsidised loans to the tune of £145million.
