Mayor calls for inquiry into Coventry city of culture trust

Trust entered administration owing money to city council, Coventry University and arts group

The mayor of the West Midlands has called for an investigation into the Coventry city of culture trust, which went into administration this week, resulting in the loss of a three-year legacy programme and 50 jobs.

Andy Street said questions needed to be asked of the trust, which was responsible for overseeing legacy projects from the year-long celebration and received a 1m loan from Coventry city council in October.
