SIR - The city of York also has an Odeon building dating from the 1930s. Theirs does not stand comparison with our building. I know, as I watched films there many times as a student.

However, they have taken the decision to preserve and restore their building.

Should we deduce from this that the developers in a town which is a major tourist destination do not wield as much power as those in Bradford?

  • EDITOR'S NOTE: We are informed that refurbishment plans for the Odeon in York have, in fact, been rejected and it closed for good last week.
