Reader's letter

Blue bridge - horrible blue. Any blue would be better than Mediterranean blue, even Alan Titchmarsh blue at a pinch.

Who chose it - the landscape architect of the Blue Bridge Viewpoint (nicely positioned under a tree never mind the root damage and limited vision)?

New bins good, new lamps good, Millennium Bridge promising if and when, but that blue - bright, garish, in your face.

We in the taste police need a good British blue, muted, discreet, quietly confident, one that doesn't cause risk to life and limb by having to cycle past with eyes closed.

Can anyone help?

Does anyone care?
