Ok, here is an article which was on the local news last night:

http://www.itv.com/news/granada/update/2014-10-27/...

AS far as I was aware, crowd funding was to prove the support for a service/etc, and show to the provider of such services that they would not be out of pocket. E.g. local bus route, which to the bus companies does not look viable, but people agree to fund it themselves, or to bring a particular artist to do a gig at a town they would not normally consider.

Am I missing the point, with this, or has this guy got the wrong end of the stick, and is trying to raise capital for a service that no one has particularly requested?
