The cleaning fee of £150k comes from - I mean wtf is that price even? That’s just absolutely bonkers on so many levels. Even if it requires some specialist work, this is just insane.
You can’t just pick a municipality workers team, hand them a power washer and tell them they need to clean this or that.
You need an outsourcer. A specialist. Prefereably one that can either be blamed for poor work/damage to the structure (which probably was pre-existing) or can return some incentives.
Sure, but still that’s just a price tag that can’t easily be validated - even with a subcontractor (and, frankly, municipalities should have this in their ranks - also for removing graffiti and such).
There’s a massive issue of government’s wasteful spending, local and national. This is one of those things. More generally, as a society that we have price tags like this is just insane. At the same time, basic services can’t be funded.
It just doesn’t add up, even if you agree with the removal.

Sub contracting, I’d risk.
