'Man cave' demolition cost taxpayers £220k

by Connor

The demolition of a building known as "Britain's biggest man cave" has cost taxpayers around £220,000, a council has said.

Forest of Dean District Council wants millionaire accountant Graham Wildin, who built the huge leisure complex in Cinderford without planning permission, to foot the bill.

The building, which housed a bowling alley, casino and cinema, had been the subject of a long legal battle in which Mr Wildin, 73, received multiple court orders to demolish the building and served time in prison for refusing to do so.

The council eventually pulled the building down last year. It said it has started proceedings to reclaim the costs from Mr Wildin, who has been approached for comment.
