What is more important to me is will Alton Towers owners pay for the
rescue services? I feel they should.


From what we know so far, it seems likely they will pay considerably
more than that in fines for H&S breaches.

Sad to say Alton Towers are hardly a shining example of corporate
honesty. Before being given planning permission at the start of their
expansion they undertook to build roads suitable for the traffic. Though
being pressed several times they have never done so. As a result the
residents of Alton and surrounding area have problems even crossing the
road. As though the noise was not bad enough!
