What was the story behind Zeri?
 

surprisingly google doesnt turn anything up for Zeri or Eddie Quigliotti.

why did he seem to think this was the place to build the rival to disney??

In the end was the money just not raised??

I had a walk round the site and it could be a fantastic place with great road links, rail and canal, I often wonder what will happen to it

Re: What was the story behind Zeri?
 

That is a disappointing reply, although I realise that the last time my right hon. Friend accepted my invitation to visit Hyndburn it cost the Department for which he was then responsible a great deal of money. I ask him to reconsider his reply so that he can see how we spent the money that he allocated to us and how Government money has assisted us in creating new jobs and industry and attracting the Zeri project to Hyndburn, with 2,700 jobs in the pipeline. Will my right hon. Friend do his best to ensure that, in this new situation, services at Accrington Victoria hospital are not diminished?
