SIR - Regarding the Odeon and Bradford Centre Regeneration's achievements, I remain unconvinced by Maud Marshall's answers.

Since the 2004 clean-up, the Odeon has never looked so terrible. Did they wash it with plant fertiliser? As no final "decision" was officially made until this summer, a duty of care and proper maintenance of the building - external and internal - should have been in place while in whoever's ownership.

I would like to know how many Bradfordians sit on the BCR board as I need reassurance.
