Maybe but the Burnley bouldering wall was a totally different project and totally volunteer driven, donated materials etc. It was a huge amount of time and energy to get the wall done. If you factor in all the costs of getting this done through design, labour, materials, permits etc you are looking at a fair bit of dosh. It's not sustainable to expect that all similar walls and projects will and can be done like the Burnley one. These kind of projects are in councils recreation budgets as well as them also being eligible for grants such as the crime prevention one. And these kind of projects have been shown to help curb some criminal activities.
