It will I think, Nom, but at a cost.
We have already been told by our delightfully out of touch council that many services will be cut down or cancelled forthwith.
These include specialist facilities for the mentally handicapped and those for special needs children.
Sign of the times that a council can 'afford' to pay for out-of-town delegates to design our City of Culture plans for us and pay them a fortune wining and dining, but our own facilities have to be scrapped to pay for it all. Of course they would never suggest that is the reason, would they now?
