City Centre

David Ward has called for Englands' games to be screened publicly

Bradford Council has come under criticism for refusing to show World Cup games on the big screen in Centenary Square.

David Ward said: "City centre businesses have been under the cosh for a long time now and were looking forward to a much-needed boost during the World Cup."

"This is just an own goal in terms of missing out on this fantastic tournament that everyone is getting excited about."

Asked if the Council had a legitimate reason for not showing England's games, Mr Ward said: "Where there's a will there's a way and they need to rethink and re-examine it."

    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.
