How is it a tax break?

So the FC will be repaying the EU funding that paid for the building of the trails then?

[ancMember]

Not a chance, the both generate serious amounts of income from parking and retail and rent, why would a private buyer want to lose that?? You never know they might actually wish to develop the forest parks further, more parking, more extensive trails and some maintenance on the trail. Which both need after this winter. Dinny panic.

Think about it logically, rationally or even commercially…
You may spot the myopia in the current government’s thinking but I don’t think we need to panic.
