Or not, as the case may be: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c627zx4gjgeo(Not my real name.) - 12 December 2024 11:10386345My question…….what happens to the grant monies that he was awarded for this project? I don’t believe anyone could go into an enterprise like this without having done the necessary investigations and identified the pit falls.

13 December 2024 16:50386356Depends on the terms of the grant/reason the were provided - he will only need to refund them if he cannot show that the funds were used for their intended purpose or their is unspent funds. I am fairly certaint that the money will all have disappeared to repay the loan taken out to buy the place, he will of course creatively show how he utilised the monies for the purposes intended - hence the flurry of relatively low cost changes to the non historic buildings on the site probably with hugely over inflated invoices from his own development team for the "build".
Of course I could be wrong and he could return every last penny

English Heritage can barely afford what they are already guardians of, let alone a massive liability like the Citadel ! - 16 December 2024 05:31386369I do not agree

You don't agree with the fact that English Heritage has run out of the money from their transitional pay-off when they became a charity and are currently making year-on-year losses? They can't afford the upkeep of Dover Castle let alone take on another massive liability which has no income !Andy B, Button and Arthur like this - Yesterday 09:16386379It would make a very big income if the work needed is done right.
