The Wakefield shopping centre could be bought by the council and redeveloped, a report says.
The Ridings Shopping Centre in Wakefield could become housing if the council decides to buy the complex, it has said.
Senior councillors are looking at the prospect of buying it as part of a regeneration project in the city. "Having assets in public sector ownership would enable a more comprehensive approach to be taken, particularly around the pace and quality of development which in turn would provide confidence to the private sector and stimulate investment over time," the report stated.
However, despite the opening of a new food court and cinema, several shops within the centre have closed in recent years, theWakefield Business Improvement District Board and Wakefield High Street Task Force has backed the purchase.
