Bradford residents should not have to foot the bill for NEC abandoning Bradford Live.

Today the Council announced that NEC will be walking away from its agreement to run Bradford Live. There are no details on why this has happened or what compensation NEC have paid for breaking the agreement to run the venue.

Lib Dem Council Group Leader Brendan Stubbs said

"After months of silence, we finally have confirmation that NEC is walking away from Bradford Live. Let's hope the termination of the contract will not result in residents paying a hefty bill. Bradford Live still needs fitting out, and the Lib Dems demand that NEC foot this bill. The Labour leadership has to protect vital services that should be the council's priority not pouring millions more into Bradford Live".

"Under no circumstances can we justify sinking any more public money into this while NEC walk away "

Cllr Stubbs added, "NEC and the Labour leadership have already wasted months on this. We need to see a clear plan from the Council that gets the venue up and running with a new operator in the coming days. It will take months to get the venue ready to open, and we cannot let Bradford Live remain closed during the City of Culture year. "

NEC has let Bradford down; the Labour leadership has let costs get out of control on this project. The whole saga needs an Auditors' Inquiry into why the Council is so bad at managing these big projects. Labour is cutting services to people across the district to pay for their ineptitude. They must stop hiding behind a wall of silence.

Rishi Sunak needs to apologise to the public for his failure to get NHS waiting lists down instead of ducking responsibility.

Millions of patients have been failed dismally under this Conservative government, left waiting in pain for the treatment they need.

Every vote for the Liberal Democrats is a vote to kick the Conservatives out of power and fix the damage they’ve done to the NHS.
