A great idea to turn an otherwise relatively worthless piece of land into an interesting project.

And once again: money from normal working people is being shifted to the rich class. Why is there tax money to be spent here in the first place? They will claim it’s public purpose. But we all know, who will be allowed there playing Golf. Very top percent will benefit from this. But people keep voting for this…

In reply to Pj. Yeah think they should sort the weather issue first. I recommend now wind and rain.

As usual, big bucks speak. The locals can sweat it out, the rich boys want more bucks and another golf course will pull them in.

What a total waste of money, it will destroy what most people come to Madeira to see. This money should be invested into helping locals, better services at Centeo de Saudi’s, improve waiting lists, increase minimum wage, affordable housing etc. An appalling decision and will only benefit the same few people – corruption at its worst.

Sort your social / cost of living / airport closures due to weather ..ie invest in a fast boat from Porto Sato to canical /
Infrastructure when visiting popular sites
Out / homeless/ drug/ animal welfare
Problems out first

Pathetic
