Bradford Odeon stands in a conservation area, in the heart of the city centre
Bradford Odeon was bought with public money
Public consultation has consistently shown that the public want the building restored
A greater number of people have asked Bradford Council that Bradford Odeon be restored than voted in favour of the new City Park that has just been built in front of the building, costing upwards of £24million of public money
Bradford Odeon is the UK’s last remaining 1930′s supercinema
Since demolition plans were made, Bradford has gone on to become the world’s first UNESCO City of Film
The following companies were involved in the contract to demolish the Odeon: Bradford Centre Regeneration, Yorkshire Forward, Carey Jones, Langtree Artisan
Of all of the above companies and organisations, only one half of Langtree Artisan remains. The rest have gone into administration or been dissolved
The Odeon is now in the hands of the Homes and Communities Agency, who are deciding whether to honour the contract with this one remaining developer, Langtree
Bradford Council are in talks with the Homes and Communities Agency about the Odeon and have the power to argue that the contract be voided
Other developers have shown a serious interest in restoring the building if the contract is voided
