Bradford’s top property developer, Andrew Mason, expects city leaders to walk their talk of economic summit held last week.
Andrew Mason, who recently took over as new chairman of the Bradford Property Forum, has a word of praise for the council for organising summit which brought together more than 100 business and community leaders together to draw an action plan to combat recession.
Mason was overwhelmed with the level of commitment shown by leaders at the path breaking summit, but wanted quick actions to demonstrate that Bradford meant business.
Mason, who is Managing Director of Newmason Properties, based in Shipley, stated that time for committees and discussions was over and it was now time for do. He remarked that summit was excellent, but it was equally crucial to follow it up with tangible actions within weeks.
He suggested that committee should identify a scheme which should be quickest, economical, biggest or easiest to begin with, to show leaders’ firm resolve.
Mason added that these steps would confirm good intentions expressed by business and community leaders at the summit.
He welcomed report published by the British Property Federation and the All Party Urban Development Group which recommends that new development planning contracts should prioritise local employment and training.
