SIR – Re the threat of closure to four Bradford pools. It seems to me that Bradfordians are trying to pull together and willing the success of the regeneration of Bradford, but what chance have we when our so-called leaders are making a thorough mess of it?

Most towns and cities are investing in most things, including sport. What are our “leaders” doing? They are allowing everything to degenerate with disregard for the feelings of the people of Bradford.

The pools, theatres, parks, etc are what we pay the council tax for, which begs the question where is our money being squandered? It doesn’t seem to be on the things it’s meant to be spent on.
