While Bradford busy themselves bodging the Town Hall and selling Silsden's assets it is sat on an art collection, some kept locked away, that could be worth £600m. Yes 600 million.Almost £1,200 for each person in the Council area.

And in Bradford Councils best traditions its only insured for £20m.

More angst about selling off the "civic silver" in the T&A today, this time from the "honourable" George Galloway.

The figure given for the total value of the artworks has changed yet again, to over double the figure from yesterday.
