A Bronte Country Partnership member said he was frustrated that the latest edition of the Bradford District Visitor Guide did not treat Keighley as a separate destination.

Graham Mitchell, of Keighley Bus Museum, said he had brought up the same issue a year ago.

He said Keighley was the second biggest settlement in the metropolitan district after Bradford and it was therefore unfair that it did not merit a street map in the guide, which does feature a street plan of Ilkley.

“I’ve been pleading with Bradford about this — it’s so, so frustrating,” he said.

Jackie Bennett, of Bradford Council’s tourism department, said she would take on board his concerns.

She told members that 25,000 copies of the guide had been printed and that these were being sent out in response to all Yorkshire Tourist Board inquiries.

She said it was difficult to find sufficient space in the magazine to give Keighley a fuller entry.

She said this year’s magazine had been drawn up in a format similar to previous years’ editions.

However, she said she would be looking to review the layout of the guide and would try to work out how more space could be devoted to Keighley in future.

Haworth, Cross Roads and Stanbury parish councillor Barry Thorne said the guide made little reference to the potential market provided by the disabled.

He said advertising attractions as being accessible to those with physical disabilities did not answer the concerns of the larger numbers of people who had learning disabilities.

“Physical access isn’t the issue for about 70 per cent of people with disabilities,” he added.

He said appropriate training for attraction staff and a statement in the guide explicitly welcoming disabled visitors would go some way towards addressing the problem.

Partnership chairman Samantha Lawson said if amending the guide was difficult due to cost, the BCP might be able to offer some financial support.
