As reported by the Coventry Observer: “Coventry City MP Geoffrey Robinson has pledged to do everything he can to revive Coventry’s super casino bid after a successful meeting with culture secretary Tessa Jowell.
“Mr Robinson met Ms Jowell on Monday evening to talk about what could be done to get Coventry’s bid for a regional casino at the Ricoh Arena on to the shortlist.

“Ms Jowell said the shortlist was only provisional, and invited Mr Robinson to keep up pressure on the Casino Advisory Panel to include Coventry.

“She also suggested that the city apply for one of the smaller licences which are going to be handed out when the super casino is decided in November this year…”
