Invisible Quango lets Bradford down

Frustration at an invisible Quango's plans to refurbish to Odeon

As the building work on the new City Park progresses, it is easy to imagine what could have been with a refurbished Odeon, with its magnificent towers, complementing those of the Alhambra.

David Ward said, in a letter published by the Telegraph & Argus, "How great it would have been to have at least kept the towers (as one of the entries in the international design competition proposed) in any new development, but to have had a middle section which could have reflected the park, the pool and City Hall itself.

How frustrating it has been to have had the building purchased with our public money but in the ownership of an invisible quango, totally impervious to public opinion. How badly we have been let down."

    If you are a resident of the Bradford East constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
