SIR - I would like to say a huge thank you to a wonderful man called Russell who works in the Street Cleansing team at Bradford Council.

This kind, honest man, returned my purse to me after spotting it lying in the middle of Bradford Road in Idle.

He had intended to drop it in at the police station but when he saw my contact details inside showed that I lived locally he brought it round before I even had chance to worry about it being lost.

Just in case Russell doesn't read this letter, I have also contacted his manager at work, to ensure they know how grateful I am for his thoughtfulness.

I hope this goes to show what fantastic people we have living and working in Bradford.

Lisa Tallant, Springville Terrace, Idle
