SIR - My wife and I recently retired and moved.

We opted to stay within the Bradford District, for Bradford is the city of the future.

The interaction between our different ethnic groups and between our different faiths and our reinvention of the city centre to mirror the modern world, make this one of the most exciting places to live in Britain.

We are a microcosm of the earth.

One foreign student, on having to leave the district, said: "I love Bradford. It is one city I know where no-one can feel out of place."
