SIR – I found Council leader Ian Greenwood’s (pictured) comment on green belt housing (T&A, January 21) was very revealing: “...often when people say that they haven’t been consulted, what they actually mean is they don’t agree”.
This suggests that Council consultations are not about seeking people’s views and taking them into consideration, but seeking people’s views and doing what the Council wants to do anyway.
Now I understand the consultations about the Odeon, The City Park, Westfield, etc. Silly me – I thought the citizens of Bradford had some say in what goes on in this city.
