SIR – Two months in and the Culture Fusion youth centre on Thornton Road is proving itself to be the success we had always hoped it would, thanks to the hard work, dedication and energy of those who have made this state-of-the-art facility a reality.

On behalf of the local ward councillors, I would like to offer our thanks to everyone involved in bringing this superb resource to the city, particularly the staff at the YMCA and those young people who participated in its design.

The centre really is something to be proud of and will play its part in contributing to the rejuvenation of our City Centre.

Culture Fusion will play an iconic role in the life of the city for many years to come and I would encourage all young people right across the district to take a look and get involved with what it has to offer.

Councillor Nazam Azam, City Ward (Labour)
