SIR – I read the article about the proposed firebox at Ferniehurst Dell (T&A, December 11) with some amusement and annoyance.

Councillor Lyons’s assertion that the Town Council has earmarked £3,000 for his proposal is not correct.

The Council has budgeted that amount for funding projects at the Dell and has had no discussion on the specific proposal. In fact, I know a number of town councillors are not minded to support such a venture.

Councillor Lyons’s promise that a firebox will be built is typical of Lib Dems. We all remember their promise on tuition fees and what happened to that.

Councillor Peter Ashton, Sandals Road, Baildon
