SIR - Following the publication of my article, "The City must stay true to its motto" in your "In My View" series (March 28), a Saltaire resident has written to ask me, "How many Bradfordians wish to be seen as living in a Leeds City region?"

Not me, for one. Unfortunately, as the resident omitted to supply his/her name or address, I would like to confirm that my preferred name for the proposed City Regen is Northwest Yorkshire, which would avoid any suggestion of superiority or inferiority.

However, the stated purpose of the "Region" is not to supersede councils but to co-ordinate functions which they have in common.

There does not seem to be any new threat to our local identity or individuality, and I would be deeply concerned if there were.

My present day address is perfectly good enough for me.

Councillor Stanley King (Con, Heaton), Heaton Road, Heaton, Bradford
