A Sizewell worker is paying £85 a night to stay in the pub. That’s £595 a week, £2,380 a month and £28,560 a year. I’d rather pay the salary of a midwife or for one and a third teaching assistants. Caterpillar drivers are paid £30 an hour.
There is a tourism fund of £12 million but the loss to the economy will be more like £40 million per year. The claim that 95% of tourists are day-trippers is hilarious; just look at the number or Holiday Let agencies on Aldeburgh High Street.
