This as absolutely nothing to do with Bulls in sl and us in nl2 quite simply object to my council tax being used for anything that is not Keighley, roll on the day we have our town council with full autonomy rather the bits Bradford are giving us, without the revenue from Keighley the council would be screwed and they know it
You could argue the same for anything, what if you dont have kids, why should you pay taxes to pay for schools for other peoples kids?
The reason is because we all pay taxes to improve the community as a whole even if all the benefits are not direct.
Ps i don't pay taxes in England so its easy for me to comment!

As a council tax payer in Ilkley I am against any of it being spent in Keighley. Perhaps a bit outside the Boltmakers is ok.

Close. I make them walk over the moor, reciting Emily Bronte & singing in a Kate Bush stylee. I care about their cultural development.

The money should be spent pro rata per district.
So how does that justify spending it all on Odsal?
Do you know how much is spent per district?
