Oxenhope Parish Council has been asked to start considering how it might spend thousands of pounds from the sale of Leeds Bradford Airport.
Addressing members last Thursday, Worth Valley district councillor Peter Hill said the parish would probably be given about £10,000.
He said later this year it would be asked to draw up a spending plan for how it wished to allocate the money.
He added the main criterion was that the money should only be spent on capital projects, not on expenditure such as staff wages.
* Councillors resolved to send a letter of commiseration to the staff and managers of Oxenhope Co-op, in Station Road.
Workers at the store faced a major clear up operation last week after ram-raiders smashed a vehicle through the front of the shop in an attempt to steal a cash machine.
The would-be thieves got away empty handed after the chain they were using to drag away the cash machine snapped.
However, their attack caused massive damage to the premises and left staff having to clear away shards of glass, scattered food containers and other debris.
* Cllr Hill said he intended to raise the matter of youth worker provision for Oxenhope with Keighley Area Committee.
Council chairman Cllr Neal Cameron said the village had previously been visited by a pair of youth workers but he thought the youth service did not have enough staff to run a regular programme of activities.
He said the village's youth club did a good job of catering for children up to the age of 11 but acknowledged there was a gap in provision for older youngsters.
Cllr David Ashcroft said relatively affluent places like Oxenhope were often not seen as a priority in terms of assigning youth workers.
Cllr Hill said a recent reorganisation of the youth service structure meant it should now be easier to determine which youth workers were responsible for each political ward.
* Councillors agreed to draw up a list of services they expect to see delivered in Oxenhope by Bradford Council.
Cllr Cameron pointed out that residents paid their council taxes in the expectation of seeing regular cleaning and maintenance work carried out on council-owned property.
He said a "reactive service", where the council only responded after a public query or complaint, was not good enough.
He and Cllr Reg Hindley said the village was experiencing worsening problems with dog fouling, along with litter and leaves blocking gullies.
Cllr Cameron said compared to the attention paid to locations such as Haworth Park, Oxenhope appeared to be an "afterthought" for the district council.
* Cllr Cameron said modest progress had been made in a long-term initiative to launch a commuter service on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.
Reporting on a meeting of the Worth Valley Joint Transport Committee, he said Oxenhope and Haworth, Cross Roads and Stanbury parish councils and Keighley Town Council would try to drum up more support from private transport firms.
These include Metro and the bus operator Keighley & District.
He conceded that Metro had been unenthusiastic in the past, as it had argued the Worth Valley line would never carry enough commuters to make it commercially viable.
However, he said the joint transport committee hoped to persuade potential backers of the wider benefits of taking more cars off the roads.
"This isn't going to happen in the next two or three years but it's moving in the right direction," he added.
