SIR: So the former councillor Brian Tetlow wishes to have Moor Lane bus station closed-in (BEN Oct 24), so to speak, so that a car park can be built above it.

Does he wish to see another covered-in bus station such as the Arndales in Manchester and Birmingham, to name but two, where buses are left with engines running indefinitely, filling the space with fumes so that one can barely see six-feet in front of you because of pollution?

And I do believe this practice is illegal.
