SIR - I hope Bradford Council will treat this second request from the market traders to revert to John Street Market with common sense, not the perfunctory dismissal of their first request.

It would appear most members of Bradford Council are so bemused and bedazzled by visions that they are blind to reality.

Mine was the lone letter the T&A published concerning the market traders' first request. I repeat: our present traders need support, not snubs.

A thriving market is a very definite asset and something Bradford cannot afford to lose.
