SIR - The latest decision by English Heritage not to grant listed building status to Bradford's Odeon Cinema (T&A, March 26) is not what Bradfordians want.
Councillor Mallinson's view that demolition will allow us to look forward to progressing plans for a new development could have been uttered in the 1960s, when similar-minded leaders decided to clear away Swan Arcade.
The city has never recovered and the destruction goes on and on.
Maud Marshall's statement that the new scheme will bring much-needed offices and shops suggests that she does not get around Bradford much. Jobs would be created by regenerating the building.
Perhaps it is time to call a mass demonstration to show our disapproval of BCR/Council policies.
