Representation Summary:

5.71 9th June 2008 Simon Hubbard, Regeneration HBC, says consequences of the Jerwood Gallery:
Council needs to raise £3-4m to deliver;
let income will be lost from ending use as a car and coach park £130k pa; HBC agree Jerwood could operate without rates (£60-70k pa);
Case needed be made showing scheme would address
economic disadvantage.
