The detailed proposals for The Channel were revealed yesterday at an international development event in Cannes in the south of France.

The plans aim to create a new city centre community around Broadway's retail development and re-introduce water to the city centre.

Major elements include: apark and a series of water features running through the centre developing family-friendly town houses near Bradford Cathedral alandmark building at Forster Square station which could be the subject of a design competition.
