You haven't quite grasped what I was on about.

I meant that whilst under the umberella of Br*dford they can always use the excuse that they fought hard for Keighley but were outgunned by non Keighley counterparts. I've heard this old chestnut a lot.

In a full Keighley council they will have nowhere to hide.

As for the Mick Westerman issue, sadly it looks like it'll be down to the good folk of Keighley to take his Council seat from him. I have heard calls for him to resign, I think we should take a long, hard look at those haven't as well and hold them to account at the same ballot box.

Trust me Stealth i have.



Yes they will. That will be behind each other. All they will do is blame each other.



Very, very good point.

Despite all the crap you get from Bradford Council I find Keighley a great place for shopping or a night out (provided you choose your pubs carefully). You can't beat great independent shops like Willis Walker, Speakes, Fletchers or Pennine Plus. There's nothing like them in Bradford. There's some good places to eat like Thai on Aire and a few decent curry houses. Then there's decent pubs like the Cricks, Bolts, Pig & Brown Cow.

There are probs, but things could be much worse.



Sure there are issues, and every small town in the north has them.
