I have little idea what this is about or where exactly it is. However it is common good practice for clients appointing contractors/developers, especially in this market, to insist on a bond from the contrator/developer to enable the client to appoint a successor to complete the project should contractor/developer go pop. The quality of the bond is usually a direct reflection of the status of the contractor/developer at the time. The apparent failure of the Council to be able invoke a liquidated damages clause against Westfield for their failure to complete their development on time is reminiscent.

You may also note the 'John Peel North' button on the site, for people to petition for the following:
=#40BFFFWe believe that a venue and arts centre dedicated to the memory of John Peel, celebrating musical in the North, will be a better use of the Odeon building in Bradford than the current plan to allow developers Langtree to demolish it and replace it with apartments, offices and a hotel.
When first mooted, this was covered in the [url=http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/at-a-glance/main-section/exclusive-bradford-odeon-could-house-john-peel-music-collection-1-4530850Yorkshire Post[/url and - to be fair - the [url=http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/9700065.Group_calls_for_Odeon_to_become_John_Peel_Music_Centre/?ref=rssT&A[/url. |

| Quote BORG="BORG" The T&A's editorial agenda continues, despite the apparent conflict of personal interest. The T&A editor's involvement in a bid for Bradford Council to buy his newspaper building for a thwarted extension option for St Georges Hall was at the Odeon's expense. Mr Austin Clarke threatened legal action against Private Eye if they refused to retract their coverage of his Odeon bias several months ago... There has been no retraction and no legal action, which says all it needs to.'" |

The business that the council puts the way of the T&A is what is keeping it alive; Legal notices, job adverts etc.... And this colours editorial decisions and , yes, the council does get off lightly in terms of the nature of the journalism that it is exposed to when projects such as the Odeon and Westfield go wrong.And although the T&A paper edition is a shadow of what it once was, I still think that it would be a disaster if the T&A went and the only "local" daily paper was the Yorkshire Post.

| T&A has been very poor for years, even before it became a tabloid the standards had dropped and it's slowly become worse as the years have drifted by. It's the 'mumsy' headlines which do it for me; "Mum attacked by yobs", for instance, which when you read on, you find the fact she had once borne children has nothing whatever to do with the story and the children weren't even there when the attack took place!.......  . Granddad and grandmother are also used in the same cloying way, pathetic imo. |

Would the T&A be a loss? Serious question, what positive contributions has it made to Bradford in recent years? Anything to outweigh their ludicrously craven positions on Westfield, the Odeon and Odsal?

I wouldn't mourn its loss. If I thought I could get away with it I'd happily cause it.
