Give them some form of tax benefit but don't take the piss. This country isn't in a financial position to be taken advantage of by more private corporations...

Edit: I'm now thinking this country being in a vulnerable position is one of the reasons we have been selected :/

It looks like Universal have been doing some business visits around Bedford with the local mayor in recent days: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cewlr5vqk25o

Hopefully this is a promising sign that Universal are invested in the region!

Hi guys. Long time lurker and have just registered to keep up with all the news. My mum lives just down the road from the potential site in Wixams and the mood around the local area is extremely positive, so I really hope that helps to push this over the line. It would be amazing to have a world class park literally on my doorstep!
