The government found itself under fire from the public last night over its decision to bail out the Sefton Group.
Members of the public at the latest “Roamin’ Comin” meeting criticised the £4.5 million land and loan deal.
Chief Minister Allan Bell defended the decision, saying the choice was to let the group fail with the loss of 300 hospitality and construction jobs.
And he dismissed some of the criticisms he’s faced since the intervention was announced:
Golf course fire was organised burn that became 'uncontrolled'
Gorse blaze made worse by windy conditions
Jail for man who stole nearly £70k from Western Civic Amenity Site
Court told employee was effectively 'stealing from the public'
"Halfway Horse Tram" not the only problem on the prom, says council leader
Devon Watson hits out at state of the "gateway to the Island"
Emergency services tackle fire at Peel Golf Course
People asked to avoid Heritage Trail due to 'significant smoke'
