The Bishop has the authority to close any Parish in his Diocese, moreover, I gather from comments, there is a Church nearby. Not every village or small town can have its own Parish.
There is more than one other church nearby. Within three miles, there are four churches with a choice of ten Masses, including one In the Extra-ordinary Form 3.00pm.

St. Joseph

Location: Pontefract Road, Castleford
Sunday Mass Time: 6pm (Vigil) 10am, 6pm; Mass In The Extra-ordinary Form 3.00pm
Holy Day Mass Time: 9:30am, 7:30pm

St. Michael

Location: Hill Top, Knottingley
Sunday Mass Time: 6pm (Vigil) 9.45am
Holy Day Mass Time: 9am, 7pm

Full Disabled Access & Toilet Loop System for Hearing Aid

St. Joseph

Allerton Bywater is one the edge of one of the most densely populated areas in the country, road links are good. There are dozens of Masses within half an hour drive. It is not like remote places such as Cumbria, the North York Moors or the West Country. It may be that some people who post on Holy Smoke think "Yorkshire - ah the Dales" and are blissfully unaware of the variety in that county.

Talk to God before Mass. Talk to each other afterwards
