The wheel is owned and run by the James Mellors Group – a commercial entertainments and amusements company (another linky: http://www.jamesmellors.co.uk/ ).
You have to pay to take a trip on this wheel – it isn’t free.
In other words it is a commercial operation and isn’t funded by Council taxpayer’s money.
