As a keen supporter of the hospice, a couple of things in the article are bothering me.
Who is funding the £1.7 million shortfall until such time as the fundraisng is complete?
How much could have been saved off the total build cost if the curvature of the building, lovely though it looks, had been replaced with straight lines?
