Re: Councillors expenses

Its more than 4 households Less. Most of your Council Tax goes to LCC and the Police. If you look at your bill it shows how much of it goes to HBC.

I would like to know as well, Councillors must be to busy to worry where the food comes from, they must be. Well I hope they are

Re: Councillors expenses

I would think councillors have nothing to do with deciding who supplies food and printing to the council and it is done by officers.

I can't remember the exact amount but I think it is £500 where...

Re: Councillors expenses

You can claim £25 for that chip butty mate. I can't see anywhere as of yet the constitution states you need a receipt to claim it so you will be a few quid up :rolleyes::D

Re: Councillors expenses

I don't think Cllr's should sit on scrutiny panels. It could be a job I would be good at :D

Re: Councillors expenses

I don't like ignoring irregularities, who knows what would happen with a nod and a wink next. The Council has a constitution that states how expenses can be claimed but it does not mention this in...

Re: Councillors expenses

I already know this happens and I have to wonder on its legality.
Who approved that the money could be spent that way. It was allocated for that purpose and is supposed to be your allowance.

Re: Councillors expenses

The allowance is for being chair not chairing any meetings. I agree it does not sound right.
Maybe as common plebs we are mis understanding something and the committee chairs still have a lot of...

Re: Councillors expenses

I did you expect you would but I wonder if anyone does



I did not know that, thank you.
Do we have any Councillors who only work in Hyndburn but dont live here that you know of?

Re: Councillors expenses

I would be interested to know how that works as it does not mention it in the Constitution.

It does say this though



It also does not mention an IT allowance that I can see so far. Maybe...

Re: Councillors expenses

I can't see anything about receipts in any of the document so far.
There are some other things about it I don't like as well.

Re: Councillors expenses

I don't agree with this, its worse that the 16 year old being cared for I think.
I think its ok to quote it directly as its a public document.



I would be interested to know how many...

Re: Councillors expenses

Thanks for that, I have just started to read it - yes I am sad.

The member allowance scheme is part of the Councils constitution.
Am I right in thinking if they do not adhere it then the...

Re: Councillors expenses

I don't believe you should be out of pocket for Councillor duties and you should claim back expenses incurred.

Re: Councillors expenses

A question to one of our Councillor members.


Do all your expenses need receipts like mine do for work or can you claim some things without receipts (apart from the allowances) ?

Re: Councillors expenses

All expenses should need receipts no matter the ammount.

Which just reminded me to fill in my expenses from November, they owe me about £250 :D
