SIR – Congratulations to Bradford Council on securing another prestigious hotel development on Vicar Lane.

We need more bed space for the thronging hordes of tourists visiting our city. I was in Bradford the other day and couldn’t move for tourists! Credit where it’s due, though, 70 jobs were created. By my reckoning, we will be in full employment by 2095.
