A TOP councillor has slammed Olympic organisers for ignoring her town.

But despite Clr Kath Pinnock’s concerns yesterday, councillors were planning on making the torch relay a cause for celebration.

Clr Pinnock claimed Huddersfield was getting favourable treatment as details of the route of the Olympic torch relay emerged.

The flame will pass through Huddersfield, Brighouse, Batley and Dewsbury during its 70-day journey round the UK in the run-up to next summer’s London Games.

But Clr Pinnock is unhappy that the Spen Valley was not included in the route.

And the Cleckheaton Lib Dem claimed on Twitter yesterday that the flame would pass through Huddersfield twice – even though the torch is due to visit the town only once.

Clr Pinnock tweeted: “Very disappointing that the Olympic Torch isn’t coming through the Spen Valley yet Huddersfield has it 2 times. Unfair.”

The torch will be taken through Huddersfield on June 24, 2012.

It will start the day in Greater Manchester before being driven from Oldham to Marsh.

The flame will then be carried through the town centre and on to Brighouse.

Clr Pinnock told the Examiner last night: “Huddersfield is down as having two stops – Marsh and Huddersfield.

“It’s a poor do that the Spen Valley, which has 50,000 people, doesn’t get a visit. I think people in Cleckheaton will be disappointed that there’s nowhere in the valley where they can see the torch.
