Not being a Coventry resident myself, I know bugger all about the proposed development....so I just googled it....
...That is some bland back-dated shitty architecture they're proposing.
Terrible.

The councils attitude to business is about making money?
Perhaps they could tutor Ccfc?

It's about making money from business. Not any added value of their own mind.

I think she said:
"This is the biggest decision the council has had to take in a generation,” Coun Kelly said.
AND....
“I think it’s bigger than building the Ricoh Arena and comparable to the rebuilding of the city centre after World War Two.”
BEFORE ADDING....
“It’s a rationalisation of the council’s property holdings from 27 down to nine. It will enable a more rational way of working and will be cheaper to run."
THEN....
“We know that the council going in there has made other people very interested. We have someone else very interested in coming in with us."
BEFORE....
“It will be a real coup for the city if we get their headquarters here and they are seriously interested"
AND THEN FINALLY....
“If Friargate takes off then the business rates to the council will be going up by £11m a year. That alone is reason for doing this.”
Not as front-middle-and-centre as your quote insinuated. Still, why permit facts or context get in the way of a touch of aimless and myopic council bashing, eh? And they say people attack Fisher without thinking first :facepalm:
Hopefully lowering the burden on us . Having said that the City centre is dying on its feet due to rates that outweigh out of town retail parks,Like the Tesco/Ricoh site generating £1M. and more still if ACL ever profits @ more than £3.75M. Maybe the CCC could profit to that exrent if someone ran it to the max ,or would they lose that extra £1M. Lagbi money if it ended up in Private hands . would that be a motivation to keep ACLas an entity,Ireckon so.
So, businesses shouldn't pay rates (as well as not paying rent)?

That's a grand idea, as right now, that area of the city is as 'reet-as-sixpunce'. Why invest? I'm with you

They invest to create an infrastructure to attract business and jobs and that's not adding value to the City's proposition?
What do you expect them to do? Sell Cov baths?

'That alone' are the key words you've decided to ignore, old chap.

Or sell the Ricoh for 6m to SISU or whatever they are calling themselves this month like some people seem to want

Well, that's because I viewed the statement in a slightly different way. What she's saying is that if after all the benefits and soft issues listed above; there's an over-riding financial compulsion to proceed. Not that the latter was the primary focus.
It would appear you're deliberately misreading quite a constructive narrative to suit the politic if your naughty intent

As if I would. Still, 15 replies isn't bad.

Those 15 fear for your future outside of an institutionalised environment. They only post out of concern
