In theory, this could be a good idea. In practice, well, thats a different matter.
Until such time as the properties are all completed and people have taken possession , I would imagine that there would be insufficient numbers to use the machines which in turn would produce profit. Speaking from experience, the people who install and service such machines charge considerable sums of money for the lease/purchase agreements and also charge higher rates for the saleable goods in such machines. It would be difficult at this stage, to "police" such equipment, ie, emptying of monies every evening, not to mention goods from the machines as these could prove to be too much of a temptation to some undesirables!
Whilst I agree that the area is crying out for a refreshment zone of some sort, I feel that this issue should be addressed at a later date in the year once other more pressing matters are attended to.
Don't want to be a "kill-joy", as I think it could be a very good idea, just would like for the hygiene, lack of heat, cold sauna/pool, silly "foot washer", foaming jacuzzi, un-ventilated gym area, small, inadequate swimming pool..............etc., etc., to be sorted first!
Think a small rain forest will be in danger of being felled once everybody starts to write their questions down!!!
Note to Seasun House: PLEASE CAN WE HAVE OUR MEETING SOONER RATHER THAN LATER?
