Builders get away with Arena delay

Arena builders Laing O'Rourke will escape any monetry penalties for failing to have the Arena completed on the stated date, it has been revealed.

Not the first choice of builders for the stadium and conference centre complex, Birse were, but pulled out after problems being paid for work done at the Walkers Stadium. Laing O'Rourke along with Coventry City Council and Arena Coventry Limited will face some tough questions as to why there was no security to prevent the fire which caused structural damage and why the light nights have not been maximised so that the project was completed on schedule.
