SIR – Only 178 people took part in the recent consultation asking whether or not Bradford should be run by a directly-elected mayor. The paltry response should come as a warning to those in City Hall.
Why on earth would local residents want to waste their time and effort responding to these consultation exercises when their views are ultimately ignored? The most recent case is the shameful disregard demonstrated towards the overwhelming public rejection of the plans to demolish the Odeon.
One can only hope that such dissatisfaction towards our Council is at full throttle come the elections next year.
