SIR - Bradford Council installs rising bollards in the city centre for safety reasons, but then doesn't bother to maintain them, making them largely useless (T&A, October 13).

This total joke of a Council really is well past its sell-by date, with an inept Executive whose priorities often seem inexplicable.

We really do deserve so much better.

Bob Watson, Springfield Road, Baildon
