Las Palmas Council has been urged to make up its mind on the installation of a giant wheel similar to the London Eye or risk losing funds already earmarked for the project.

25.11.2009 - After announcing back in the summer that the wheel was to be installed in the cen­tre of Las Palmas to increase the city’s attractiveness for tourists, the council appears to have gone slightly cold on the plans.  The island’s Cabildo has warned it that a grant of €50,000 set aside by the Department of Tourism could be withdrawn in the coming weeks if confirmation of the site of the attraction is not received soon.

According to sources in Las Palmas, the delay has been caused by the need for detailed technical studies guaranteeing that the loca­tion initially chosen, next to the Miller Building, will be able to support the weight of the 60 metre wheel.
