SIR - I believe Bradford Council is missing a trick regarding the Forster Square development. This is my vision: Offer the barren area to one of the many film crews looking for locations to film in Yorkshire. A lunar landscape, Iraqi desert, or devastated city centre - just three possibilities.

With the income earned, lease the relevant acreage of butyl liner. Cover the area, use soil and plant life from our parks department. Let nature take its course.

With natural rainfall the area will become a lake but most importantly will be self-funding.

This will also free up the other side of Bradford to become a shopping centre!

I make no charge for my services to Bradford.
