Then of course we have the situation of Bingley, and the likes of me living in Bingley Rural. UDI for Bingley too??
I can understand why Keighley folk don't recognise the fact that they are in Bradford. In exactly the same way that Leigh is strictly speaking part of Wigan.
Theres a growing level of descent from these small towns who want to gain their independence from the big city that traditionally gives them scant respect. Even Morley is now governed by people who want to take it out of Leeds.

Will you be joining the KPF then?
I notice that in the Airedale masterplan that Bingley and Shipley are stuck in with Keighley in a "corridor". It might be the best way forward for the outlying towns.
