Bid to bring jobs from London to Coventry.

AN ambitious plan to bring 2,000 top jobs to Coventry has been unveiled.

Government departments are being moved out of London - and Warwick University has spotted the chance to encourage them to set up bases in this region.

The uni wants to build an office complex for civil servants and at its heart would be a new university school of public policy and management for training civil servants.

Bosses believe that would give the university an edge over competitors hoping to attract the civil service, as it moves out of the capital.

The university hasn't revealed whether it intends the new development to be within the existing campus, adjoining it, or at a separate location in the city.
