SIR – I have read with interest your article of May 31 on the Odeon building, but once again there is no proper information as to how these ideas are to be paid for.
Bradford Live says they would use “a mixture of public and private money similar to funding models for the Leeds Arena”, while Bradford One says they would “bid for public grants and sell off land at the rear to be used for building student accommodation yet they expect to make a profit of £1m. a year”.
In other words, neither of them has the finance to carry this through – the same problem that has stopped all previous proposals.
When are we to receive a clear financial appraisal as the Council has requested many times over?
