I'd have thought of major belt-tightening in the circs. Just as well I never went into local body politics eh. The Octagon has managed just fine all these years (let's not think about the large black penis, temporary thank goodness, that was there for some important rugby-related thing, I've forgotten what) so postponing wouldn't hurt. Sure, they'll say "Only $..." because DCC's wanna-haves are always Only, but if you put all the Onlies together you get Sum Of Significance.
