Gerry Sutcliffes Guide to Regeneration: No 2

Seems that Gerry Sutcliffe, bumbling sports minister and MP for Bradford South has been caught out making up stories about developments in Bradford? Now Gerry has form on making sloppy, rather ignorant statements about development but this is his most strange comment - and he made it to Roger Owens, a highly respected former Morrisons director. To see Gerry placing his boots firmly in his mouth watch the first of these clips on North of Westminster's blog (another example of making stuff up btw). And then read the statement below from Tony Reeves, Bradford Council Chief Executive. What is the truth?

Tony Reeves, chief executive of Bradford Council, said: “There have categorically not been any discussions between Westfield and the Council about the Council buying back the Broadway site. The Council is asking Gerry Sutcliffe MP to clarify the statements that he has made today regarding the Westfield development in Bradford.”
