KEIGHLEY Town Council is due to set its 2015/16 budget on Thursday.
The council had been due to vote on a proposal not to increase the precept for this coming financial year last Wednesday.
However, most of that meeting was taken up by debates centred on the town council’s troubled civic centre and on a disputed payment for a memorial bench in Town Hall Square.
The town mayor, Councillor Graham Mitchell, said that in order to meet the deadline to inform Bradford Council of the town council’s budget arrangements, the debate could not wait until next month’s full council meeting.
If council members accept the recommendation not to put up the precept, the amount levied on Keighley taxpayers for the year will amount to £42.69 on homes in the benchmark band D category.
