TADCASTER is certainly a town in decline, and I should think it's a concern to many residents.

While there have been many arguments between breweries and the council, it's certainly up for discussion as to who is actually holding this town back.

Fair comment to say it's not a town that has been overrun with housing developments and big changes, but shops are closing and being left empty.

Something is holding Tadcaster back, and I think it's about time things changed... for the better.
