    Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA Thursday 11 January 2018 Dear Mr Hancock. RE – Northern Cultural Regeneration Fund consideration, Bradford Odeon My name is Si Cunningham, and I am the Chair of Bradford Civic Society. Since 1942, our group has existed to preserve Bradford’s heritage and promote a more beautiful built environment for the city. Bradford has suffered setbacks and economic hardships over the last few decades, yet when I took over as Chairman last year I made a pledge to look to the future and identify opportunities for tangible, positive change. That’s why I’m writing to you today – to urge the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to award the shortlisted Bradford Odeon project the maximum possible funding from the Government’s Northern Cultural Regeneration Fund. This project will provide the West Yorkshire region with a flagship 4,500 capacity venue capable of hosting a variety of cultural attractions, bringing families back into our city centre and acting as a much-needed catalyst for wider regeneration – as restaurants, hotels and cafes open in the area. Complementing the Alhambra Theatre, National Science and Media Museum, and the magnificent City Hall, the Odeon could become the city’s iconic fourth grace – all framed beautifully by that world-renowned shared space of ours, City Park. Furthermore, a rejuvenated Bradford Odeon will be symbolic of the city’s rebirth as a cultural powerhouse and will inspire a whole new generation of Bradfordians – from all backgrounds – to immerse themselves in the creative industries.

    Photo Cathryn Bell Photo Cathryn Bell 2 Welcome to our first edition of 2019; sadly, our break did not include a tour of the Caribbean onboard the company yacht. However, since our relaunch last summer, things have gone well and we are very grateful to all our advertisers and supporters helping us to almost triple our print run. Sincere apologies if you have struggled to get a copy at times but the aim is to increase production. We want to maintain a true community magazine for Idle and Thackley that is content led with local issues foremost, not simply full of adverts; Captain Bill’s yacht will have to wait. Locally, almost the same time that Barclays closed their doors for good, the criminal element nearly blew the doors off the Post Office, taking the cash machine. The damage was horrific and had anybody been on-site the consequences are unimaginable. Sarj and the team would like to express their thanks for the heart- warming support from the local community. The Post Office is all we have now in terms of a local banking provision now so we should value this. Elsewhere, there is plenty going on with a smart conversion to offices of the Idle Coniston building plus plans for a bistro and a micropub in Thackley too. This issue contains all the old favourites plus the story of the Bradford Odeon, a building that defied many who sought to flatten it. Our new What’s On page aims to provide a directory of activities for young and old so help us publicise your activity.

  • Dementia Awareness
    2 One of the joys of producing The Trumpit is being en route to the printer, suddenly realising you’ve forgotten to include something and its too late! If anybody spotted the “deliberate” omission last month, you win a free copy of The Trumpit. We had intended to include a picture of the old folks enjoying afternoon tea and cakes on us at the Stonebridge complex in Idle – we cocked up – sorry. This month we correct this and also include the residents of Joseph Wright Court in Thackley too. Thanks to Idle Coffee Lounge and McCallans plus all contributors to the Bill Craven Memorial Fund. In last month’s issue we told of Bradford Council’s plans to spend over £15m of your money on pet projects thinly disguised as sport with sod all in BD10 – no change there then. We challenged the great leader, Hapless Hinchcliffe but, as with most of her kind, she ducked and dived like a modern-day Arthur Daley. As for any hope of local input, our very own Cllr Sunderland also seems somewhat reluctant to comment. The cost of the external report on which the spend will be based was £24,925 + vat so you might wonder why they need all those expensive Council officers when they rely on consultants so readily? Equally, it might have made more sense had they sent the ninety-odd councillors out into their wards to verify the accuracy of the report, were it not for the fact that many live nowhere near where they represent. Try to remember this next time the Council bleats about having no money.
