Galloway in call for Odeon action

Newly-elected Bradford MP George Galloway has called for an urgent meeting with Bradford Council and developers over the fate of the city’s Odeon building .

Mr Galloway, who was victorious in the Bradford West by-election last month and will be sworn in as an MP today, is also pushing for a meeting with the Prime Minister about the ongoing row.

The outspoken MP, who today claimed in an interview he was the “Robin Hood of politics”, said he wants answers to find out if the building can be saved and the cost of doing so if feasible.
