SIR - I was very pleased to read the letter from David Ward, our local councillor (T&A, December 1).

I am sure that, like me, most Bradfordians will agree with every word he wrote.

If the powers that be behind the Park at the Heart scheme expect the ordinary Bradford council tax payer to finance this scheme then they will surely be disappointed at the response.

Let us hope that more of our elected councillors will now speak out as David has done.

I call upon Yorkshire Forward and Bradford City Centre Regeneration to scrap these ideas and, for a change, do as the people want - save the Odeon and get the builders on with the shopping centre before it is too late.

D Wood, Doctor Lane, Idle
