Sir – The Romans incorporated public libraries into their famous baths. Baths, libraries and roads were important features of their civilisation.
In the 21st century, we have a surfeit of relatively excellent roads, far exceeding anything the Romans could have imagined.
So Keith Mitchell and other councillors should not be surprised if people are more concerned about losing libraries and public baths. Perhaps they don’t realise how civilised we are.
