SIR – Grassing over part of the Broadway site is just another dumb plan from our inept Council.
How much extra trade will that bring into the distressed city? Zilch, nil, zero!
Far better to create a temporary car park with four hours free parking, from which every 100 cars could deliver at least £5,000 of retail trade every day into the city centre.
And, in the evenings, erect a large screen, with a short-range FM soundtrack to car radios, and we’ve got an instant drive-in cinema, where we could all relive that scene from Grease, and catch the latest Bollywood blockbusters.
That’s what we call a business plan. Cheap, quick, attractive, feasible and profitable – all words our dysfunctional Council will probably need to dictionary to understand.
Now, where did I put that application form for Mayor of Bradford?
