In order to get funding for any more museums/tourist attractions etc you'd need to convince a funding partner/chairy - such as National Trust. Most are unwillign to spend their budget unless in an area already with Heritage designation. So we can't get designation until there is more on offer, but can't fund anythign as we aren't designated. Doh. The council will have to put hands in pockets to get this through - at a time when all eyes are on Eastside... Bit of a chicken-egg situation I think.
