In a story that's becoming all too familiar, The Dome was battening down its hatches yesterday following the news that the Government has agreed to a further grant of £47million in order to see it through to the end of the year. Despite a major publicity campaign, the attraction is still failing to meet visitor targets and its financial problems have generated more headlines than its exhibits. The latest hand-out is just one of many. The Millennium Commission agreed a £60 million grant at the start of the year, which was followed by £29 million in May and then £43 million last month. Nomura, the company which only recently won the bid to buy the Dome at the end of the year, has announced that it will now review its position.
