The worlds biggest aquarium is set to be built at a disused brickworks in Bedfordshire.

Costing £250million,the massivw project will be four times the size of Cornwalls Eden Project.
It is intended to be both a leading research facility creating 2500 jobs and a top tourist attraction by 2010.

Excelent - life time membership here i come

It was looking a bit sketchy as to weather or not it would get the go ahead as the local road network cant currently cope with the increased traffic.

I just hope they sort that out - or it'll be hell getting in and out.

 

[smithrc]

Ah... "If the plans are approved the centre could be running by 2010."

Dont hold your breath folks - I got the bad news from someone sat on the council panel that is overseeing the plans...

I hope it does go ahead.
