Welsh Elections 2021 poll

[Rjk]

On what basis did it not make sense financially?

it was already to forecast more than 1bn quid and the estimates were being rapidly revised upwards.
the impact study suggested that building it would generate an extra £25 million a year in the Welsh economy or something like that. that would take 40 years to pay back the investment l. there have to be things that we can invest in that will have a better return for Wales than that.
if the shoe was on the other foot the Tories would have shot it down too for that reason, and also pretended it was for environmental concerns.
in 40 years we'll probably travel everywhere in tubes or something making the whole exercise completely pointless anyway.
