OK, so I don't read threads properly. 
I'm rehearsing already: 'what do we want' (insert reply..usually 5% or something) 'when do we want it?' NOW |

The Director of Westfield came on breakfast this morning on BBC and didn't seem apologetic at all that it wasn't built yet.

Quote: vbfg "Indeed, so given the contractors said they were fooked and had run out of money, unless the council bailed them out (IIRC their bank had reduced available funds?) and given that they have resumed work, either the Council has given them a loan or a miracle has happened. Shame, but not surprising, that the T&A hasn't dug into it and reported whether or not the Council Taxpayers have now lent a private firm a few mill.'"
Indeed, the T&A reports today the rlCouncil lent 'em £6,000,000.rl |

There's no story there until they get the press release.

I`d say it was a `natural` process.
Human activity (putting up buildings etc) is really us showing our power over nature. We do have the power to keep our buildings but only if we actively maintain them. When we fail to do that then we "allow" nature to take its course. Of course you can argue the semantics of whether (actively?)planning to do nothing is passive or active (in so much as we are allowing nature to be agent) in demolishing the building.
One thing is for sure though; without any obvious way of getting any return for the investment, the owners aren`t going to put in any more cash than they can help beyond the safety requirements alluded to in a previous post. This applies particularly when the owners are the ones who actively decided to be inactive................. |

There's also the somewhat proactive activity of the smashing the internal water pipes. I'll dig out the photos. |

| Quote: Bullseye "The difference between the Westfield view of the future and the Council view of the future needs some explanation.
INO the Council have made an awful mess of this. The re-development should have been complete before the recession started. Now it looks increasingly like it'll never happen.
In the meantime more businesses go to the wall in town. I was at the Love Apple on Friday night a couple of weeks back, there were only 10 of us in the whole place. Pubs nearby were equally empty. In noticed Walkabout has shut. It's only a matter of time before there are only a couple of pubs left in the city centre. The place has died on its backside over the past 10 years.'"
Thought it had shut down ages ago. |

Some shots rlhererl but I'm sure I've seen others. It's pretty obviously been proactively unmaintained rather than just left though. |

At one time I would have been really up for that. Sadly my apathy for most things Bradford have reached new heights. |
