NEC Pushed
to Decide on Super-Casino
As reported by icBirmingham:
"The National Exhibition Centre has been
told by one of its own board members to put
its plans for a super-casino on the table or
withdraw from the race.
"Ken
Hardeman - Birmingham cabinet member for regeneration
- said the NEC had failed on several occasions
to publish details of its proposals and risked
being overlooked for the multimillion pound
venture.
"…The
Department for Culture, Media and Sport now
wants to reach a decision by next June rather
than the end of 2006.
"The
change gives Birmingham City Council less than
six weeks to decide whether to support the NEC
scheme or a rival bid for a multi-purpose sports
stadium and casino by Birmingham City FC and
Las Vegas Sands…"
