[ssf] Back Ground to Matilda..

[worldwarfree at riseup.net]

This Building was illegally sold to Hallam University in 1998.

 It was not put out to tender by the council at the time of the sale.

 The council's only reasoning for selling to Hallam was their apparent
bigger agenda. This agenda was to move Psalter Lane art college to this
site, this was one of the conditions of the sale.

 Not only have they not adhered to this, Hallam have broken contractual
agreements by selling the building and the large plot of land for an
enormous profit to Yorkshire Forward (remember the NCPM, "National Centre
for Popular Music", this was bought from the very same people, Hallam
paid £1.4 million for it, its cost to build was £20M. There is
cross-fertilisation on these boards of directors).

 Adrenalin Studios made a higher offer and were completely ignored,
Adrenalin have rented this building for years and spent an enormous
amount of money on it.

 Hallam should not be allowed to capitalise on such activity, damage
businesses, abuse tax payers money and ignore the needs of the CIQ
(Cultural Indisties
Quarter).

 Hallam's capitalist activity is damaging businesses in the CIQ!

 Adrenalin Studios want to see this building used for creative purposes
not for corporate profit.
