The City Council don't seem too bothered, though, seeing as they cut the funding for the priory exhibition, forcing it to close. Good to see it reopening: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-40056170

Sadly, I suspect it will be short lived. Even as a social enterprise it will need funding, but I wish them well.

Coventry's made it onto the shortlist. If it's up against Stoke & Sunderland, and Hull won last time, Cov. might be in with a chance: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-40611161

I actually think this whole thing is a case of 'The emperors new clothes'. I really can't see this benefiting the city financially.

There are a lot of people who take an interest in urban decay, Coventry might do quite well out of this

The Emperor's new clothes!
Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups.

I see the council are 'giving away'27 Historic buildings in Coventry to a trust to look after.
Wonder where the 'saved' money will go. I guess into the same mysterious purse as the parking money.
PS
I've just heard we are now becoming the City of Culture!!

As always with CCC, I smell an unsavory whiff. But as always, nothing will ever be proven.
