SIR – Morrisons have not stopped making mistakes, for their proposal to open a convenience store on the Buck Lane site is another one.

The site has a tarnished image due to the ineptitude of Bradford Council in creating a significant financial and environmental cost to the community without the benefit of hardly any of the 732 purported new jobs which were a significant basis for planning approval.

This image does not auger well for retail success, especially as the Tesco convenience store a little further along the road is not exactly a hive of activity.

What Morrisons should do is open a convenience store in the centre of Baildon where the Ian Clough Hall is ripe for demolition.

This would compete with the two Co-ops who massively overprice and take advantage of those without transport or unwilling to be subjected to the congestion of Baildon Hill.

My previous letters to the T&A over the last two years regarding Morrisons have been remarkably prescient and I reckon this one is as well.

The new boss, David Potts, should demonstrate his business acumen and squash the Buck Lane involvement forthwith.

He has enough problems without taking on Bradford Council’s as well.
