SIR – The apparent dearth of correspondents criticising City Park these days must be down to the many successful events that have taken place there which have attracted thousands of visitors.

I recall the missives denigrating this city centrepiece before it had chance to prove its worth, as well as the excoriation of Bradford Council for investing in the project. But those who claimed City Park and the Mirror Pool a waste of public money must have had a change of heart.

I originally read about out the proposed scheme in the Telegraph & Argus and gave it my full support.

Now I confess to feeling rather smug that my more sober views have been vindicated by events.
