SIR - Coincidentally, the night before your front-page story about proposals to cut illumination of the Alhambra and other public buildings (T&A, September 25), I drove past the theatre late on Sunday night and wondered why it was ablaze with light in a totally deserted city centre.

Clearly, in this age of global warming, we've got to start saving energy, at a public as well as a personal level.

This decision may have been driven by budgetary concerns, but some measure of economy is clearly necessary.
