Tourist Attraction?

So the big cheeses at the Forth Estuary Transport Authority (FETA) are keen to find something else for themselves to do now that tolls have been abolished on the Forth bridge, with the latest suggestion that they should become part of Scotland's tourist industry.

"AN office block built just two years ago to handle the Forth Road Bridge tolls is set to be finally put into use – as a visitor attraction. Bridge bosses want to make more of the spectacular views of both bridges from their headquarters in South Queensferry. They are planning a £1 million revamp of the rundown car park which would see a new surface, landscaping and picnic areas installed in a bid to make the most of the area. A new cafe is also planned for an empty retail unit next to the car park. And there are also proposals to convert the unused office block next to the FETA headquarters into a bridges visitor centre. The offices were built for bridge operator FETA in 2006 as part of a £5m package of works to revamp the bridge's toll booths but are only partially used following the decision to scrap tolls by the Government."

Is it just Carnegie or would FETA be better to focus on using what limited powers is still has left to the run the Bridge and roads around it as well it can, rather than getting ahead of themselves and spending public money on "non-core" activities? The "picnic areas" could come in handy though for motorists stuck in any future traffic jams approaching the Bridge because of FETA's appalling approach to maintaining it.
