Today,s Birmingham Mail states, the original estimate for the 2022 Commonwealth games has risen from £750 million to £778 Million a rise of £28 million and there is still two years to go. As with all these estimates given by local and central government can we expect the original estimate to double by the time the opening date rolls around. £594 million of this amount is being found by central government, but that still leaves Birmingham ratepayers with £184 million to find. I wonder how big the next rate rise will be?
