Finance is a massive stumbling block which will be very difficult to resolve as all the parties are effectively broke. A toll on the reopened bridge is being suggested. How about this - since interest rates are effectively zero everywhere why not issue a peoples's bridge bond paying say 2% pa and with a term of 10 or even 20 years. Given how many people are looking for a safe home for their savings now that NS&I has left them high and dry, I'd bet such an offering would be oversubscribed several times. Warning: what I actually know about this stuff would fit on the back of a fag-packet, though I do have a few Premium Bonds. |
