Coventry Bid Snubbed
As reported by icCoventry: "Coventry's campaign to get back in the running
for Britain's first supercasino has suffered a major blow. "Politicians from
the city have been lobbying to get it back on the shortlist vying to host
the only pilot super-casino in the UK. "But last night regional development
agency Advantage West Midlands snubbed Coventry and backed a rival bid for a
glitzy supercasino at the National Exhibition Centre. ".Coventry cabinet
member for regeneration Dave Arrowsmith said today: 'We are very
disappointed and surprised that, at this very late stage, Advantage West
Midlands has decided to support a proposal for the NEC site, which may or
may not happen.'."
