Will the developers run out of money and run cap in hand to the council for a bail-out?

"Affordable homes" - Affordable to whom exactly? - Student rental companies?
Yet more folly from O'Boyle!

Octopus Energy is moving from Leamington to Friargate: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cxe1lykglzno'A spokesman for Octopus Energy told the BBC the move was decided after reaching capacity in that office and it also saw moving to a city with two universities as a good opportunity for recruitment.'. Looks like this is basically a call centre. Great while students are at university, but I imagine they have more ambition for after they graduate.

O'Boyle again! The man is a walking disasterzone. This will not turn out well.

Private money is being used for this bit of the development. 'Tax write off' comes to mind: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-67379100Private money is being used for this bit of the development.

The first of many.
I'm afraid the plan isn't working out as intended at all. I have little time for O'Boyle and Co but many of us predicted that the developments proposed were out of keeping for Coventry. We aren't a major player, we aren't a rich city and the plans were far too ambitious, not to mention expensive, unworkable and unnecessary. But it's easy to spend other people's money. Of course, on paper the developments will be made to look a success, but the reality will be very different.
