The North Yorkshire Lib Dems have started a petition calling on the leader of North Yorkshire Council, Carl Les, to ensure the “windfall” is spent in Knaresborough.
It is understood the petition has yet to be submitted to the council, who have not commented.
Gordon told the BBC Knaresborough was being “overlooked” and called on the council “to do the right thing and ensure this funding stays where it belongs”.
In response to Walker’s question, Myers told the meeting a £17.5m leisure centre had recently been built in Knaresborough, while Ryedale “hasn’t had a bean spent [there] in years”.
He added: “Should the residents of North Yorkshire subsidise your gold standard in Knaresborough while people in Ryedale can’t get decent facilities?
“Let’s not go down the path of being parochial even though it may play to our electorate.”
A North Yorkshire Council spokesperson said it received £4,600 from the hiring out of Conyngham Hall and parking fees, which would go towards running the authority’s car parks “and other priorities”.
They said the authority received £5,800 for filming around Knaresborough Castle and Knaresborough House’s grounds.
This would be invested into the council’s parks and grounds fund, they added.
Tinsel Town, which also features Danny Dyer and comedian Jason Manford, will be released later this year.
It tells the story of a washed-up Hollywood actor hoping to boost his career by starring in a pantomime in the north of England.
