Readers' letters

• Most self-serving?

  SIR – Was there ever a better example of the shallow, self-serving politicians of today than Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg? read more

• Bring back comedy

  SIR – Readers, please support a petition to try to get the BBC to bring back an old television favourite, Last Of The Summer Wine, for another series. read more

• Standing up to greed

  SIR – It is good to see that chefs Jamie Oliver (above left) and Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall (above right) are campaigning against the giant supermarkets that are ripping off our struggling dairy farmers, (T&A, July 20). read more

• Help us to help carers

  SIR – Did your readers know that one in eight of us cares for a disabled, elderly or frail family member? Carers provide round-the-clock care for their loved ones, often with very little support or recognition of their selfless devotion. read more

• Keep volume down!

  SIR – Re high cost of concerts (Letters, July 20) from Vivienne Michael, Deafness Research. read more

• Some positive signs

  SIR – Never let it be said that letters to newspapers – and, in particular, to the T&A – don’t work. read more

• A great loss to club

  SIR – Along with many organisations and individuals, Ilkley Cricket Club was a grateful beneficiary of the generosity of the late Peter Marshall. read more

• Concerns on betting are being ignored

  SIR – For those who are angry that our city centre bristles with numerous gambling outlets in the form of betting offices or slot machine emporiums, our MPs showed on Tuesday that they don’t care a jot for our concerns, and suggested instead even more deregulation of the gambling industry. read more

• Parties unprepared

  SIR – It would be a backward step of great magnitude if the electorate were to vote for Ed Miliband and the Labour Party at the next general election. read more

• A positive difference

  SIR – We the members of Bradford Punjabi Cultural Society are saddened at the news of the death of former MP Mr Marsha Singh (pictured). read more

• World is overcrowded

  SIR – In putting David Rhodes to rights in a letter last week, Keith Thomson explained that it was not Mother Nature that had landed us with an insupportable world population. read more

• Bradford’s name is known for rich past

  SIR – Regarding the article ‘How the city fell from dizzying heights’ (T&A, July 19) reminded me when we stayed in a Bradford hotel more than 30 years ago, we had come up from Salisbury Plain to visit my daughter at Leeds University. read more

• Count station visitors

  I have a silly idea. For a month during summer, why not have a temporary arch erected at our two railway stations for incoming passengers only. Each arch would be signposted ‘For people who are visiting solely for the purpose of seeing our City Park /fountains’. read more

• Let’s talk about death

  SIR – John Simpson, the vastly experienced BBC foreign correspondent, was talking openly about old age death recently. read more

• Loco misses city

  SIR – I have recently read a report regarding a steam locomotive which passed through Shipley on Sunday, July 22. The restored Waverley ‘Scots Guardman’ will run for eight Sundays on the Settle/Carlisle line, departing York, Leeds, Shipley, Keighley and Skipton . read more

• Tickets still needed

  SIR – Re Letters, July 26. Karl Dallas is correct to state that car parking is still free after 2pm in the car park above the Oastler Shopping Centre, or John Street Market as some would say. read more

• Rise in unemployment inevitable

  SIR – I am in full agreement with the letter by Bob Holland “Not jobless fault” (T&A, July 9), with regards to the attitudes of politicians towards unemployment in this region. read more

• Ideas on campaign

  SIR – Many people are concerned about preserving the Odeon/New Victoria Building. I am in full agreement with this aim, but would suggest, firstly, that the name Odeon should be dropped – New Victoria is more attractive and also unusual. read more

• Firm not mentioned

  SIR – I have just read about Barratts in Apperley Bridge (T&A, July 12). read more

• Remove pay secrecy

  SIR – Highly-paid BBC radio and TV presenters should not dodge paying their fair share of taxes. read more
