Reduce the number of councillors to 'strengthen team'
SIR – Recent comments in your columns regarding the number of councillors, and government cuts in finances, I think there is a strong case to reduce the numbers.
Having dealt with Bradford Council for some long time, they do not get on with one-another. There's too much emphasis on politics.
I am advised that in three big cities - New York, Paris and Sydney - the total number of councillors added together is 86.
In building we have a well used terms called “strengthening the team” used when an urgent job, needing large group of workers, was not proceeding fast enough, we would “strengthen the team by simply reducing the numbers.
Perhaps Bradford Council could so the same?
