SIR – In the last two weeks, Bradford South has been described in your paper as a safe Labour seat.

It is not. Mr Greenhalf suggested that Conservatives have ‘given up’ (T&A, April 23). We have not.

I worked hard for the opportunity to stand for Bradford South at this election and in recent weeks and months I have been out every day meeting and talking to local residents. I cannot guess the outcome of this election, but I can tell you it is not a ‘safe’ seat.

If conversations I have had are anything to go by, the outgoing Labour MP may just be in for a surprise!

Regardless of the outcome, after this election local residents will still be here, and so will I.

If anyone still believes the Conservatives have ‘given up’, let me set them straight right here and right now – I have not given up on a single street or a single person, and I will not do so now or later.

I am fighting to win for the Conservatives and for Bradford. It really is time for a change.

Matt Palmer, Conservative Candidate for Bradford South, Peel Place, Burley in Wharfedale, Ilkley
