SIR - I would like to reassure people that the fight against the changes proposed for both Meadowcroft and Greenacres are still ongoing.

The head of our wonderful Social Services in Bradford, Peter Kay, may not see his job as a personal thing but it has very personal meanings to the people that such ridiculous ideas have an affect on and therefore we will not stop our battle!

I believe that Bradford councillors are hoping that the lead-up to the local elections in May will be a quiet one. Oh how wrong they are! We will make as much noise as we can. We will be there when people go to vote, especially at the polling stations in the wards of councillors who voted for the closure or sale of these homes which are probably our Social Services' only "feather in the cap!"

We would be interested in hearing from people who would like to volunteer with poster and leaflet distribution, signature gathering and other events so we ma0y make the councillors take a second look at these stupid ideas. Anyone who is interested in helping us, please contact me on 07753 239081.

Thank you all so far for your continued support.

Sarah Firth, Mount Pleasant, Buttershaw

SIR - Can Bradford Council explain why the junction at Rhodesway and Thornton Road has been modified? It looks like there has been a fair bit of work done and no doubt it cost a few hundred quid, if not over a thousand.

There was nothing wrong with this junction and there hasn't been for 40 years or more, so why change it? I ask this especially bearing in mind that council tax is being raised.

I don't live in Bradford anymore but attend daily for work and family visits. I used to live on Park Hill Drive just off Rhodesway. The Council would have been better spending the money resurfacing that as it is full of holes.

SIR - Can I, through your newspaper, thank all the people who have worked together to have our recreation field, at the back of St Margaret's, cleaned up.

It was a disgrace. People seem to think it was a dumping ground for anything and everything. Why do people have to spoil it for everyone else?

The clean-up gang did a very good job. I wouldn't have liked to be scraping some of the rubbish up that was dumped.

Can I also thank Pam of the Holme Wood Executive for her help and understanding and for taking the time to listen and informing us of what was going on, also to Mrs Rhodes at Holme Wood Council office for replying to my letter.

It makes for a better place to live when people work together.

It seems at last private owners are being taken notice of. After all, we are all Holme Wood residents.

Catherine Alderson, St Margaret's Avenue, Holme Wood.

SIR - Just how much will the electorate be fooled by Tony Blair 's promises? The Prime Minister's pledge to halve the number of asylum seekers by September is just the latest in a long line of high-profile gimmicks that have come to nothing.

No-one seems to notice when one of his "eye-catching initiatives" is dropped, but then they do come thick and fast!

We've had cash-point justice, child-benefit crackdown, street-crime crackdown, traffic congestion and drug-abuse targets and many, many more.

By the time a commitment is abandoned (and they always are) we are on to a new target, a new headline.

But who knows! Perhaps a spectacular humiliation of this latest climb-down will do the trick and make people take note!

SIR - Re Jenny Sampson's letter about foxes (February 13). She says they get rid of rabbits and rats. As a farmer's son I ask her if she has ever gone into a field and seen lambs with their throats sprung open and left for dead by a fox, not just one but three of four, and hens in a hut with their throats torn out?
