SIR - Once again Bradford Council has turned its back on the weak and the afflicted in our city (‘Bradford Council can’t afford tax breaks for vulnerable groups’, T&A, September 17).

The authority’s executive committee has decided that it would cost £1 million to help these people, and that the city’s coffers cannot afford it.

How strange it is then, that £1 million is the exact amount that the council has donated to prop up Bradford’s failing Media Museum!

Clearly, the needy of Bradford come in a poor second to the propping up a failing business!
