It took quite some time for the council to take it over and it emerged during "Prime Time" programme that the council could not even go into the building, which I was unaware of, after it said it would take it over. In the majority of councillors said "okay", except one courageous person, and it was not me, because there was a hole in the ground and the manager said he would take a hands-on approach. It emerged during the "Prime Time" programme that the manager could not even enter the building a year after he had told the council that. Is that right?
