So the Council will fund it after all. A drain on resources no doubt. We end up with another very specific Centre with facilites crammed into it for specific few. No doubt there will be relatively restricted access to the general public who will no doubt be largely paying for it.

That's not how I understand the situation.
The council has granted planning permission but, as far as I can tell, there's no mention of the council coming up with the £12 million.
