This is a link to the Rossendale Councillor's allowances for 2007-2008 for comparison - http://www.rossendale.gov.uk/downloa...es_2007-08.pdf
The total allowances claimed by all 35 Hyndburn's councillors in 2007 - 2008 was £140,904.19
(basic allowance) + £111,943.31 (special allowance) = £252,847.50 which is £ 87,550.05 more than that claimed by the 36 Rossendale councillors - who claimed £165,297.45

Perhaps Rossendale have a better public transport system and their leader is allowed a bus pass?
