Re: Councillors expenses

Perhaps they should rename a whole Hyndburn street Butty Street.

No, (over) £15,000.00 spent on butties, certainly can't be described as 'a free lunch', by any standards.

Re: Councillors expenses

Still rather confusing.
Will quotes have been obtained, even though the annual cost is less than £10,000.?



As stated earlier, I'm sure there's nothing amiss, even though we now have a...

Re: Councillors expenses

I suppose that varience could be explained by whether the King demanded the crusts be cut off his butties, or proclaimed there are juicy cherries on his buns.

Re: Councillors expenses

Not such a triffling amount to many people here in Hyndburn.

Most companies in the private sector would tender out catering for something that cost that much, to ensure they were getting value for...

Re: Councillors expenses

How many lunches a year are we talking about, that deems the cost too small for it to tendered out?

Who caters for other council events, receptions etc?

Re: Councillors expenses

Let's just hope that if it is decided that there's a conflict of interests, and Cllr. Hurn's given the push, they don't get Aldo Zilli in to make their butties.

Re: Councillors expenses

Is the catering at HBC contracted out, and if so, for how long?

Not saying anything's amiss. Just seems a bit odd that it's being done by a firm with close family ties to a councillor.

Re: Councillors expenses

Who does the catering?

I know Hearn's did quite a bit for the council.

Though that was before the recent electon in Baxenden, won by the new Cllr. Hearn.

Re: Councillors expenses

You're living in the past.

Or at least under the illusion that Labour are in anyway red, the Conservatives are conserving, and the Liberals are liberal with their charms.

Ok scrub the last one....

Re: Councillors expenses

Meeting the Chairman/woman was actually present at, and could therefore chair, for which they were so generously paid to do

Re: Councillors expenses

Having the title of Chairman/woman, and claiming expenses when there have been no actual meeting to chair, is morally wrong. Even if it isn't breaking the Council's own self-regulated rules.
