This is tremendous news regarding jobs, 2,000 + jobs over the next ten years has to be very good news. Great that one of my favourite places in Bradford, the wonderful Little Germany is part of this scheme with the Design Centre being upgraded. Fantastic job done by all in getting the government money for such a worth while scheme!!!!

Yes, was getting used to the great view across to Little Germany and the great architecture. Not to sad that it'll be blocked by Westfield, at last, but will still miss it.

Well done all involved in getting the investment which must help the area and the wider city and borough.

Your an absolute fool if you believe this will actually add anything to the improvement of Little Germany. The 2000 jobs created is simply a soundbite and is not backed up by any official figures or an explanation of where these roles will be created.

Just two doors up from this building two years ago moved out losing nearly 400 jobs and the council are looking to shut down the Adult & Community services just round the corner with a further loss of 100 jobs.

This "scheme" is for a total of £12m....Are you seriously suggesting that £12m is a major investment ? I can assure you it is absolutely nothing in the scheme.

This proposal is simply a council soundbite of which they have just tried to piggy back onto the backing obtained by the university and tried to claim the success as their own.

Some people are just so gullible

or completely negative like you, one of the reasons for Bradford decline is the absolute negativity of its people. please leave the city if you don't like it and leave it for the people who are enthusiastic and positive about the place and great news like this.

200 jobs a year forecast over the next 10 years. Thats less that Provident have in CHURN.

I'm all for good news but my point is that this isnt really news as such. Its a tiny tiny announcement being lorded as some sort of saviour when in essence it will do nothing.

Now if say the council annouced for example say a new Aldi Distribution centre in Bradford creating 5000 rota'd roles for low skilled workers I would personnally congratulate Green but this announcement is nothing in the scheme of things.

Sure you could say any news is good news but I urge you to actually look into the net losses/ gains in employment and companies either being wound up in Bradford or liquidated.

As for attracting "talent" here. C'mon.....how many talented graduates from outside the city are actually thinking about moving here for a career. 72% of Bradford University graduates leave as soon as they can.

Like I said all for good news but lets put things in perspective here

Interesting comment about a supermarket creating a distribution centre and creating 1000's of low skilled jobs in Bradford.

We've been there - Marks and Sparks opened such a centre in Bradford, not surprisingly the moaners were out in force at the time saying the city needed high level jobs not unskilled jobs!"
