Have you never seen this picture on here before of Hyndborg Borough Council?

I think its discriminatory based on their wealth, and that is wrong.
As you have been critising something you have not seen. I am going to post a copy of the Christmas card my husband and I delivered to the residents of Church ward.
As for being discriminatory based on wealth, all councillors are entitled to claim the same basic allowances. 3 out of the 6 Tory councillors in Oswaldtwistle are also Cabinet members as are 2 out of the 3 Tory councillors in Great Harwood - so their allowances are much larger.

I look forward to seeing it. However you didn't make it clear. Are you saying that councillors should be spending their own money to give people information about who their representative is and how to contact them?

I would hope the cabinet members do more for that money though

Lol, though before you joined Accy Web lot's of people thought you were a member called Purplelass, because that was the only person who was defending the Pant.....oh, we can't mention that word.

I still think everyone has the right to anonymity on here, if they so wish.

Nothing in the rules about it, and the majority of us don't post under our real names.

Thankyou for that, the scan is okay its still pretty clear. I presume these are A5 size? Are the council calendars also this size, or are they big calendars?

I still don't understand what you're trying to argue though. Surely it is a democratic councils responsibility to let people know how their councillor can be contacted and who they are? Why should councillors have to pay out of their pocket to inform them?

Instead what has happened is Labour have refused to have their pictures on, despite having photographs taken. They have then gone and spent their own money on duplicating the information.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.

Also, Graham Jones your leader says £750 paying to him in allowances is trivial. Why are you making a song and dance about giving people information on who represents them?
