SIR - I read with interest the article on the Bradford Canal in May's Community Pride council newspaper.

In six weeks the cost of this canal has gone up from £35 million to £40 million, so it looks as if my figure of a few weeks ago of it costing around £100 million in the end could be on the low side.

If it is going up by £5 million every six weeks, what is to say what the final cost will be?

I suppose the extra could always of course be added to the council tax.
