SIR – So there we have it (T&A, February 15). In one breath we have the Government quango Yorkshire Forward stating that “Bradford Council has prioritised Bradford city centre for Yorkshire Forward investment, and thus Yorkshire Forward does not currently have any plans to invest in Saltaire World Heritage Site.”
In the other, we have Bradford Council stating that they were told that Yorkshire Forward would be prioritising the projects put forward.
What an utter shambles, and, in any event, why should this quango be allowed to dictate any spending priorities for our district?
No wonder so many people cannot wait for the day when these hugely costly, unelected and unanswerable quangos are abolished.
