A KEIGHLEY councillor has spoken of her heartbreak over a row about a memorial bench to her young daughter.

Andrea Walker has been asked to stump up £700 to pay for the bench, in Town Hall Square.

Now the distraught mum, who claims she was unaware she would be expected to fork out, says the issue has been deferred to a Keighley Town Council meeting this month – the anniversary of her daughter’s tragic death.

Little Ellie, who was three, died from streptococcal septicaemia in 2013.
