Good news for the Odeon!

The Odeon building, or at least its facade, received a welcome ray of hope today. After several years where it looked like public opinion would be ignored, and the developers would get there wish to demolish the whole thing, finally, English Heritage have said that the local council should seek to save the historic twin towers and facade.

Whether or not it will force a rethink by the developers, even the T&A, normally at the beg and call of the regeneration development company, were forced to place the story on the front page. The tide is turning against those who simply want to put luxury accommodation and more offices in our city centre. The desire to gentrify Bradford's centre is flawed. We want a heart to this city that meets the needs of all of Bradford's people.
