SIR – It seems that Labour leader of the Council, David Green (Letters, November 30) was rattled by my letter pointing out the dodgy calculations the Council use when complaining about their Government grant.

While he accepted my figures were accurate, he then repeated the Labour spin about getting a bigger reduction per head than wealthier areas in the South without acknowledging that Bradford still gets far more per head than those areas.

I’d prefer to see Coun Green focusing on ensuring that council tax payers’ money is not wasted – a good start would be the £500,000 a year the Council still spends on Union officials.
