SIR – So, Bradford Council is to waste time and money to try and get more ethnic minorities into senior roles (T&A, April 10).

Personally, I couldn’t care less about a person’s religion, sexual orientation, marital status or gender reassignment. None of this should have any relevance whatever when job appointments are made.

All that should matter is that the Council employs the best person for the job, something that it seems to have difficulty doing at the moment if its recent track record is anything to go by.
