Letter: Cardiff has been saved from an operatic folly
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Dr Gordon Wilson
Sir: I was intrigued by the unimaginative assumptions implicit in your headline, "No daring, no imagination, just cycle paths" (23 December), and the article that followed. I, too, long to dare, and both cycle paths and opera houses feature in my hopes. A traffic-free cycle ride and a beautifully sung aria feed my emotions in similar ways. So I imagine that Wales gets its new opera house but not a car park to go with it. I imagine that it has a covered, secure cycle park, and a public transport system to get everyone else there.
Finally, I imagine that my proposal is funded by reparations from those who have so unimaginatively waged war on the quality of life in this country for the past 16 years.
Yours faithfully,
Gordon Wilson
