Overdose Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Rumour has it that the Sefton Group have or may be pulling out of the Summerland site due to contamination of the ground and the Government's refusal to sort the unstable rock face out. Yup, our office has heard the same thing, ground contaminated with asbestos. Saying that, it could well just be your typical Manx rumour, but given when the building was erected it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Stavros Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I'm not quite sure I understand how that can happen if the building was demolished by a contractor. Presumably the contractor would have had prior knowledge about the asbestos and would have been licensed for the removal of asbestos / demolition involving asbestos and the clearing of any asbestos contamination subsequently left on the site?

Stavros Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Then how could the site still be contaminated with asbestos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b4mbi Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 can we build a space elevator please? That'd be neat. Sort of like a mono-rail but vertical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee54 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) Maybe their Skint., Ive heard their already into the banks for £40 million, could be wrong. Could end up like The Government and AskethHall and the Bus Station Hotel, both Skint.

Stavros Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Will there be a gift shop selling felt place mats and maps or the island where felt has been produced etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemonday Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Yes and also Mister Felt, a delightful capering chap who will make the children laugh with his silly felt related japes and feltmobile car made entirely of felt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
