Â£10m - Â£25m will be for the professional fees.

ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‹Å“Dis-aPier (signifying nothing)' is the working title for the most audacious concept to emerge from the recent grant-aided ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‹Å“Pretend Portobello' community workshop and aprÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨s-vol au vent analysis . Employing state of the art holographic technology, this will truly be a virtual wonder of the modern world to enthral the 21st Century and beyond.

"If you can imagine a giant white elephant dressed in the emperor's new clothes that is initially projected to cost Â£10m but escalates to the price of a new Forth Estuary Secondary School before finally imploding due to the infinite weight of its own pretentiousness and disappearing up its own black hole then you are on the right track" explains one of the many diverse coastal humans involved in the vision.

"The whole thing actually costs about two hundred quid (plus several million pounds in consultation fees and feasibility studies) and we blow the rest on a big arty party for the usual suspects."

Almost certain to succeed then?

Ok, so we have poked fun at the idea but the intent to do something to re-vitalise Portobello is nothing short of commendable.

There is of course very serious side to all of this, namely who is behind the project and what mandate do they have.?

"This proposal is put forward by the community of Portobello"

On what basis is this statement made?
