    Are you sure they don't have planning permission?

    From what I can remember there was an application went in which received a load of public submissions (all of them against it when I had a look through) but then it seemed to go quiet. It was back in January that they were supposedly making a decision on it I think. I never heard this bit about them not even applying for it?

    They haven't got planning permission, according to Angus Young, they withdrew the application before it was heard.

    Very.

    But if ever there was a time to give it a go it's now. Places like a Liverpool and Salford have got pretty far on their "flavour of the month" status, why not us?

    I commend them for having a go, though I think our geographical location will work against us and it has little chance of success as a consequence.

    So would it be that big new building next to the C4DI development? I thought that's where the multi story was going?

    Would be absolutely fantastic for the city, but as OLM said our location might **** us over.

    But, in saying that, who thought we'd get City of Culture? Nowt's impossible.

    What multi story?
    There's one by the new concert theatre.

    All the housing development is on the West side of ...erm...Market Place... is it still Market Place on the south side of the A63?

    I don't think we've actually got a prayer, Manchester, Leeds, York and Cardiff are also bidding for it and Manchester's the obvious option.

    I'd say this was actually worth praying for, would be exactly the sort of thing Hull needs to lift it's profile longer term. Yes, Manchester would seem the obvious choice but Hull must be able to undercut them, no?

    I don't think cost alone will do it, they'll be more concerned with staff retention, practicality of operations and infrastructure.

    If they do leave London Manchester would be virtually nailed on.

    Leeds is crowded,
    York is too old,
    Manchester's far too hot and Cardiff is too cold...
