SIR - I am dumbfounded on reading that the Labour faction in Bradford Council are discussing the possibility of an underground train line going to the Interchange (‘Going Underground’, T&A, February 6).

Surely we, as a city, have far more issues to discuss, such as the lack of social care, mental health, lack of school places, roads and pavements etc. Surely these are far more important, in our current time of austerity and cutbacks? I appreciate that it is only a discussion but time is of an intrinsic value that you can never get back.

I don’t pay towards the councillors’ salaries for them to discuss totally meaningless subjects when we are in such a poor state as a city.

Let’s get our act together and concentrate on the important issues.

Stephen Henry, Treasurer, UKIP Bradford & District, Oakdale Road, Shipley
