Looking at google search analytics makes me wonder how powerful the movement behind the Bradford Odeon truly is?
Hardly any web traffic at all has any reference to saving the odeon. It is usual for activists and campaigners to create a small wave of interest amongst each other but it is rare that they will persuade the average Joe to try better understand their interest. Why would this be the case?
I don’t hold much opinion to save the building but I do think the council should be held accountable for a lack of decision making and the damage of having a “dead” building in the heart of the city.
I also think if some of these claims are true then an open discussion should be had and the truth should be disclosed. We can only progress as a city if we feel we can trust our councillors. I feel this is the current underlying tone that truly needs to be addressed.
