I request sight of the in-depth AECOM report which I understand details the proposed brighton i360 project, its financial justification and the risk analysis. I understand this report forms the basis of the developer's/operator's decision to move forward with the project. I also understand this report underpins brighton and hove council's decision to borrow from the PWLB and lend on to the developer operator in order to allow the project to proceed.

I am interested to read this report because brighton and hove council are entering into a loan agreement with the PWLB which they must repay and which, should the brighton i360 fail as a business, the council will, nevertheless, have to honour. in a situation where the brighton i360 fails as a business, the developer/operator will not be in a position to repay the monies brighton and hove council has lent it, leaving the council in a position where it is unable to repay the PWLB loan without recourse to local taxpayers.

as a local taxpayer I therefore have a financial interest in the background information (the AECOM report) which has led brighton and hove council to borrow a large sum of money for this project.
