SIR - Regarding Mr B Barnes' letter about The Priestley (T&A, December 10), another theatre needing a great deal of money spent on it to bring up to the health and safety regulations.

Surely it would be reasonable for the Council to consider making the Odeon a modern theatre again and incorporate The Priestley and all amateur artists around the city.

This would save the Council money and give the talented young people in Bradford a wonderful venue for their art.
