This project is now just subject to final planning permission.

"While the loss of the Odeon's turrets and façade would be regretted, we are satisfied that the benefits of the proposal would outweigh the harm which it would cause. English Heritage would therefore support the revised scheme."

Check out the PLANS. On balance, we think it has to happen.

Welcome to the "Westfield Shopping Experience"!

With their focus on opening Westfield Stratford in time for the London Olympics http://uk.westfield.com/stratfordcity, it's probably going to be some time before they're back in Bradford.

Yes, we also have the credit crunch, but whatever the reason(s), we believe they have a moral responsibility to carry out some interim landscaping to this central location in our city centre. The costs…

We love the park concept of making Bradford city centre more welcoming to families and our visitors. It's also Gumption's back garden too!

One plea - as a dad of 3, I just hope they include an enclosed playground for little kids too. We'll be shopping in Bradford much more (Westfield or no Westfield).

Okay, we somehow gathered 130 people to the first www.bradfordnowhere.com event last month and expect 200 at the October event.

But what should we do to channel these fantastically positive-minded people into a trading unit, or should we just leave up to people to 'use their gumption' and get together?

Thoughts?
