SIR – Congratulations to Bradford Council on their amazing foresight. After facing a barrage of criticism over the lake in the city centre and the canal – all is revealed.
The consultants’ report (T&A, June 18) highlighting the need for a swimming facility in the city centre has been pre-empted.
Why else is the Council building new, state-of-the-art outdoor bathing facilities, and apparently they will be free of charge.
Plus, with the effects of global warming, we could use them all year round.
No doubt the plans to demolish the Odeon are to build new changing and shower facilities – it’s all so obvious.
I look forward to pictures of the Lord Mayor opening the new pools with an inaugural dip.
Mark Blackburn, West Royd Drive, Shipley
