Temporary Park
In February 2010, almost 6 years since the start of demolition, Bradford Council announced a plan to convert part of the construction site into a temporary park. The park would include new footpaths, seating, grassed areas, urban allotments and a performance area The funding for the park scheme was provided partly by central government, as part of a fund to help local councils invest after recession, Yorkshire Forward, and the developers Westfield. Work began on the park in April. The park is a temporary measure; in its 2009 financial results, Westfield stated that it was continuing pre-development activity on the scheme.
