SIR – Re your article (“Going nowhere fast”, February 16) and the A650 through Saltaire.

What planet is Mr Grint on? The Aire Valley above the roundabout is getting heavily populated – one example: planning permission for a housing estate up Micklethwaite Lane, and many more to follow.

All the new residents will have to go out to work, and you can rest assured a lot more traffic will be coming through Saltaire roundabout from the valley above.
