About two years ago there where talks about demolishing the Muhammad Ali Centre in Birmingham City Council by the then Councillor Ray Hassall, Cabinet member for leisure, sport and culture, has issued a public letter announcing the “only option available” is to demolish the derelict building and clear the site.
I would like to know what has happened to the proposal to this ugly building as it is now become more of an eye sore by the Hockley Flyover I have walk pass this building on a daily bases and keep asking myself when will this site be demolished.
It has been rumoured There has been people who has certain land rights to the land and building to which in my mind I don’t think there is as my understanding is that the centre was making a lost and that Birmingham City Council brought the building and over 25 years ago.
Instead of using the land that is available to build houses or apartment I find this ConDem coalition in Birmingham are all over the place yet we have three local Labour Councillors for Soho Ward lacks the courage to tell the full council to demolish this building and community leaders if they want continue to campaign against the change and they want to continue to look on this eye sore building they should come up with a alternative plan so the city council can re look at it again.
I also blame both Labour & the Birmingham ConDem coalition for lack of intuitive just think of the income this eye sore building could have generate for the city.
