To be fair, whenever I've visited I've often been the only one in there.

This kind of smacks of desperation to me - the Council couldn't think of anything else to do with the building (they've had no luck attracting a 'major retailer'): https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventrys-ikea-building-could-transformed-19842739

O'Boyle again!
I'd be far more impressed if he'd said that the council would put all our treasures in the building so we can see them. At present they are scattered around the city in various industrial units and unseen.

It's taken nearly 4 years for the project to go belly up. Must be a record for the City Council: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c70wpr73462o

'twas always going to happen. I bet O'Boyle has his fingers somewhere in this little mess.
