I liked the transparency about mentioning universal and sky are owned by the same people

Nothing gets built: Brits complain. Something gets built: Brits complain.
-
MP's placing bets already.
-
It will mostly "generate" money we spend there and the profits will go elsewhere. I'm not against it but I'm not daft.
-
This is great. We really should disempower planning authorities and local councils so we can build much more in Britain. The country desperately needs it.
-
The economic benefits will be felt at Comcast HQ. (Not in Bedfordshire).
-
No need , the government is already taking us for a ride
-
Sounds quite quick? That's 6 years from now and it's been in the planning for several years already
-
I would buy an annual pass to this park and it's not even built yet;
-
Come on NIMBYs tell us why this is a disaster
-
Levelling up funds for a place less than 50miles from London?
-
Really hoping this goes through and turns out extremely profitable. It will be a real turning point for tax generation for the UK - which is desperately needed post-Brexit.
-
As I live right near this proposed theme park I bet the local area rents will go up due to people wanting to move here in Bedford for the theme park and job opportunities
-
They would have to be mad not to give planning permission! 🤩
-
It is always in the south of England!
-
Let’s go baby. Universal Studios Europe 👏👏👏
-
Leveling up is going well
-
NIMBY's: "I'm about to end this theme park's whole career"
-
UK needs this so bad. Our theme parks are absolutely terrible compared to other countries. This will force other parks to up their game and give us something better.
-
Hope this goes through. Universal really are second to none when it comes to theme parks. This could also be a much needed kick up the arse for Merlin to up their game at the current to uk parks.
