SIR – In response to Ian Lyons’s letter (T&A, May 29) lambasting Bradford’s Labour-run council for cutting funding to social care, remind me please, which government is running our country? Ah, I remember – the ConDems, the same government that has decreed that all councils must make massive cuts to their spending, whether the councils are run by Labour, Conservative, or the Lib Dems. So, Mr Lyons, think a little deeper before blaming Labour for these cuts.
Oh, and by the way, when I say that all councils are required to make drastic cuts to their spending, I believe I read somewhere that some councils (I think they’re in the Home Counties) have had their funding increased.
Please correct me if I am wrong and feel free to respond to this letter.
Rita Robertshaw, Dalecroft Rise, Bradford
