Cllr John Taylor shares his February Column for the Shepley magazine

February is one of my least favourite months, it’s still dark and cold and whilst we may get glimpses of Spring on the way, it is often a false dawn with the winter yet to release it’s grip. Politically it is also a time which is difficult as well as it is the time when Council budgets are set and these are never easy and finding cross party agreement proves challenging.
