FIRST of all I would like to commend the Keighley News for printing the truth about Bradford Council and secondly Chris Bryant and Joe Karkoszka for the excellent letters produced about what is happening in Keighley.

Maybe now, after people read these stories, they will get behind Philip Davies – the MP for Shipley/Denholme/Cullingworth – to escape the clutches of Bradford Council.

We know, and have known for years, of Bradford’s austerity regarding Keighley and the deplorable removal of land belonging to the people of Keighley, to prop-up Bradford’s economy. Also, it is now time for Keighley Town Council to say an emphatic ‘no’ to those hypocrites.
