There is clearly no further budget for anything else at the moment so would not expect any significant changes to sets or studio usage until atleast 25/26 financial year.I imagine this is the logic, but it's a short-termist understanding of costs that is endemic to a lot of the public sector at the minute (Treasury-brained in policy-speak). Extended maintenance of an ageing set + half-refurbing it, only to install a full new set at a later date, will be more expensive in the long run than just installing a new set now. It's a false economy - cheapskating it now, will only cost more tomorrow.
