The Townfield area outside Keighley bus station
A VIGIL for action against military spending is being staged in Keighley.
The event takes place outside the bus station next Saturday (May 1), between 11.30am and 12.30pm.
Organiser is Keighley Peace Justice and the Environment Network.
Sylvia Boyes, for the network, said: “Despite the universal acceptance that the pandemic and climate change are existential threats, we have seen a pay freeze for frontline workers and a vast increase in the military budget. Does this reflect our priorities in the kind of society we want?”
Social distancing will be observed and people are asked to take a placard and hand sanitiser.
