Why don't the government spend the money wisely,like helping stop climate change or helping London's streets be more clean instead of for even more luxury for the Queen when she already has so many privileges and there are so many problems in the ?

Money should be spent wisely not on a house even if it is a palace!

The UK government really should spend money wiser like donating it to homeless people or helping with the animals who could be gone forever. Buckingham Palace is already a beautiful home and doesn't need any more refurbishment as it is very lovely and known to be that size.

If the money is spent on safety things I see no reason for it to be an unreasonable price to pay.

I totally agree with AlanaH10

I totally agree

Yes because it needs to be done one day so they may as well do it now so that it doesn't get worse and also because it is an old building it is always going to cost more whenever they do it.

I think it has because look what they have spent it on

yeah, but think of all the people who could suffer if it collapses

AlanaH10 YOU are right we need money to help the world not for the queen

AlanaH10 YOU are right we need money to help the world not for the queen help us money

I'm not saying no to a makeover cause it'll stop floods but the queen could pay for it herself or maybe the royal family

Alana is right

I think that Buckingham Palace should be preserved, but the Queen should pay for it as she is very rich. It is not the government's job to fund this work, but it is their role to spend money on other things like helping the homeless or like climate change, as AlanaH10 said.

That's exactly what I said !!!!!!

No! Why do they waste their money on decorations? Why, the Queen get's loads of luxury already; the government are also helping her now! But I dare not call her a spoil brat...

The Queen gets a better home than us and it would be good if it were for a good reason.

the government should spend money on more urgent and important things like climate change and poverty

If it is old they should fix it for the queen

it is completely not well spent! The royal family are so rich they could have anything they want and now we are spending more money on them? If we gave that money to charity, for example to help child refugees from syria, think of how many innocent lives could be saved! And now that money is being spent on people who don't need help or money at all!

AlanaH10------Definitely agree with you the queen already has enough luxury!????

Money should be spent to help stop the bad in this world? but if the palace is becoming a crumbling dangerous place then money has to be spent on safety. If they didn't spend he money, the public could be in danger as you can have tours around the castle and if it's not safe then people could potentially be hurt (in the future) but I also agree with AlanaH10

And I agree with wren

This is simply ridiculous...

Whats the difference?

AlanaH10 is totally right. The Queen has so many privileges why should we give her more instead of helping our country in things like global warming and trading

The Government should spend money on better things like good schools, library, instead they are wasting their money on the unworthy Queen when she already has so many privileges, he should just be a normal person,no biggy of a person.

The government are being so silly now.

I think the money is spent well because it needs to be protective and some things need to be replaced.

why would you spend money on something that's already beutiful

It depends. It could be useful if it's helping them, but when you think again you think that should we really spend £369000000 on one makeover? And besides, it doesn't take that much money to fix a few pipes! It's obviously getting a makeover on the outside and inside to do with painting, new rooms and more furniture instead of just hiring a couple of plumbers. We don't need this! It only makes a couple of people's lives better, if any lives at all! So my final answer is no.

The Queen's house is already beautiful so why change it????????

No, the government should spend money on the vulnerable people out there and help stop climate change!

well it is a wonderful peice of work and is needed to be kept lively but they can use it for something else.

that money should be spent on helping others that need more than the queen

You could help other people in the world that are desperately in need

All that money could be spent on important things like homeless people

The money comes back into the government because of how many tourists there are and don't forget the queen pays tax so her home can be redone sometimes. Also hopefully these works will last for a couple of decades at least

na

Hmm....... I wonder what the Queen would say if she saw this lol :).

And I totaly think that the money should be spent on poeple who need it, and climate change.

I mean maybe if the queen saw this, she would think diffently lol

Money isn't there to be played around with
The money wasn't spent wisely
why didn't the government spend the money on refugees and climate change

We should be spent on people who do not have homes having homes having homes!

The news says all the things like 'not enough money to solve the housing crisis,' and here they are refurbishing a palace with 775 rooms. I agree with AlanaH10

Think about all the poverty and homeless people living in streets why don't they spend the money on that instead of the queen she already has many privileges. She has a house unlike many others so she doesn't need an upgrade she should be happy with what she already has. Homeless people have nothing.... ?

WASTE O' MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

should use money on refugees

The money should be spent wisely, not on the looks of the Queens house. The government should be using 369 million for more important things, like climate change or something else to help the world :)

I think they are being spoilt and selfish using it on a palace where our majesty lives. Nearly every room has gold in it - why do they need to add more? Some people might be in need but instead they're thinking about the palace and not the people that they were actually assigned to help.

Buckingham palace is one of the things that represent the country and it should be in good condition

Really, I thought the government were wiser than this! Doesn't the Queen already have so many amazing things in her palace? I can think of so many things which would have been wiser to spend that £369,000,000 - (e.g. Donating to charity). Honestly, I don't believe they did this1

Really?! Is that hard?!

We give the goverment money to make the world better not to make Buckingham palace look nicer. come on!We ❤ our world!

Why are they spending it on something stupid like that. They should be spending it on something useful like food for refugees in our 2 mile long refugee camp or for homeless peoples to have lovely homes and plenty of food. We have so many problems and this is not one of them.

But then also americans will come and spend loads on seeing the land mark. So i'm a bit confused right now.

/ Happy4456 is correct about every thing including this.

It's better spent than HS2 because Buckingham Palace actually makes money via tourism. Plus, it would cost more to clear up if it fell down.

The Queen has way to many things
the money should be spent on homeless people and stuff like that

can't say no can we
queens choice

It's money is well spent ?

With AlanaH10

The Queen could use it on more shelters for poor people

no of corse not

If we had sorted out world problems that could be solved with money then it would be fine but we have not.

For goodness sake, the Queen has practically everything except getting to be informal!!! Look at all the poverty in our world!!! If the government has all this money, they should spend it on helping people instead of a few measly charitys!!! Honestly, I think the Queen should just move into a usual house.

Yes because everybody needs a good home ! Including the queen most of all!?

People Buckingham palace does not need a makeover!

The money spent on Bukingham palace could of been used for example the NHS.

The Queen already has lots of luxury’s so why spend money ? on that when they could spend money on the homeless and the wellbeing of the poor?? I have no idea. And when we are the ones that are going to experience it and other things like that, we should be the ones that should be able to vote, but, no, because the government thinks we’re not responsible enough.

775 ROOMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What!!!!!!

There are people litarely living on the streets with no food, and who have to beg and the government can just go spend £365 million on a Buckingham palace makeover??? Use it for free food and cheap rent instead.
