SIR – I despair of this Council. My granddaughter has just moved house, but at her new home there is no green bin.

She rang the Council to request one and was told she would have to pay £33. What do we pay our rates for? Oh, I know, a silly puddle in Centenary Square near a crumbling building. Wonderful.

I am not surprised Bradford is the second-worst city. You cannot get anything done for the buck-passing brigade.
