NO SP that means that 1000 people go to 5 gigs each therefor 5000 tickets sold, 1 gig would attract 1000 people, 2 gigs the same 1000 people twice, 3 gigs 3 tmes etc :roll:

 

So, you are saying that less than 1000 folk visited for the folk festival, and the same folk went to each of the gigs?

 

Even if that band on that night was one they were not too fond of...

 

 

So your explanation may be a bit simplistic..

 

Now, tell us how many came off the ferry or plane for the festival?

I suppose you have to include the players too, they went to a few gigs.

Since it looks like the Anderson high is going to move to the Clickimin area, The existing School should have been upgraded into the Music and Cinema venue?

 

Couldn't be done. The decision on Mareel was taken while the Council were still arguing about a new AHS at The Knab site.

 

Irrespective of that, you'd have to gut and refit the AHS to such an extent that the costs would make it prohibitive and you might as well build a purpose designed building from scratch anyway.

ss, then how do you know how many visited the Isles for the festival and y could more come to see a larger gig...

How many come for the Folk Festival?, is that not thousands?

 

I know, not in one space.....

 

But, I think the weather plays a part, weather or not to risk it...

 

Oh, here is what I asked...

there is always going to be dust where things are being built. open a window at night its not as bad. I am living near somewhere where from 7am-6pm big truck loads of rubble are being moved. you just have to deal with it and not complain. you will get used to it. look on the plus side with the dust on ur windows nobody can look into your house and see any mess :P works for me hehehe

The contractor is OBLIGED to install dust suppression.

 

Any drilling, cutting or crushing has to dust free, it is part of the legislation under COSHH.

 

So, if you have to shut windows because of the dust, the contactor is breaking the law, and making a profit from those activities, not to mention the health implications. Some of the dust could be dangerous to health..

I don't think the legislation says dust *free*, however, as this is the internet so please state chapter and verse if I'm wrong if it makes you feel better. I think it is supposed to be managed yes, but there is a level of reality to embrace here as I'm not aware of any contractor who can beam a fully formed building into place with no disturbance at all. In any event, the pile driving is a short lived process over the construction life cycle so it will be over soon.

Here are a few, links....

 

Tis not about me feeling better, I dont want to get sick in the first place.

 

There is a duty by the contractor to ANYONE who could come into contact with any hazard, to minimise risk.

The articles don't say that. They talk about workers and the requisite preventatives that "should be considered" (cis36). Minimise is the key word I think.
