SIR – Re £7m cuts in Bradford (T&A, June 11). I can remember when the Communities Minister Eric Pickles was leader of Bradford Council. He became the most hated man in Yorkshire.

He will relish punishing our now-Labour-controlled Council, even though we have had ten years or more of Conservative/Lib-Dem rule. He will not care about the people of Bradford.
