Has starship Enterprise come a cropper?

We note that last night's meeting of the cabinet included a confidential report by the Assistant Chief Executive on the Boston Enterprise Centre.
The centre cost £3.6m, part funded by the European Regional Development Fund in partnership with Boston Borough Council, Lincolnshire County Council, and Lincolnshire Enterprise.
As you would expect, it's a "state of the art" business enterprise centre with 45 office suites from 250 sq ft to 760 sq ft on Boston's Endeavour Park.
It has a staffed reception and business support services, two meeting rooms, parking for 90 cars, CCTV protection and advanced broadband and WiFi facilities.
What it doesn't have are very many occupants.
Not long ago, we gave our Leap of Faith award to council leader Richard Austin, who reckoned that occupancy of Boston Enterprise Centre on Enterprise Park will surge from a meagre 17% to a stonking 75% - equivalent to 26 more tenants joining the eight who are already there.
At the same time he reminded us that the previous administration approved the budget and revenue implications of the centre. That's called having your cake and eating it - hopefully grabbing any credit for the success of something whilst pointing the finger of blame at someone else if things go pear-shaped.
At the time, we said that the whole concept had been a flop from the outset, which has largely seen existing local firms relocate from expensive in-town accommodation to tailor made accommodation at rock bottom prices.
When the centre opened, Councillor Gerry Clare, who accepted the keys from Lindum Construction Contractors, said: "The Enterprise centre will be an excellent facility for our business community."It will encourage and support existing and new local businesses, which are an essential part of Boston's economy." A bit wrong there, then.
Presumably whatever was being said about the centre last night isn't good news, otherwise it wouldn't be in the confidential section of the agenda.
It will be interesting to find out what it's all about - if we ever do!
