SIR There's a thought move the T&A into the Odeon building as suggested in your Editor's note responding to Bob Watson (T&A, April 24).

No wonder the Council's estimate to revamp St George's Hall varied by £10 million without any formal approach being made to Newsquest, the owners of the required adjacent building.

Funding, we are told, will be from Lottery grants, which no longer backs such projects. Smoke screens should be banned perhaps the un-named expert consultants could help?

John Pennington, Scott Lane, Riddlesden.

  • EDITOR'S NOTE: I suspect the T&A owners don't have millions to waste on stripping out asbestos and restoring the Odeon to something like a usable condition, even if it wasn't way too big for us!
