    The councillor had been working with local MP Mark Pawsey to help broker a deal which may have kept the Bees racing at Brandon.

    "I hope the Bees survive as a brand," he said, but whether they go back to Brandon is a difficult question to answer, because it's [stadium] now under private ownership."
