Replies: 177 Councillors expenses Views: 4,103 Posted By accysimon Re: Councillors expenses What is the issue of Daltons (as it should be spelt) doing printing for HBC? I know Graham Jones worked there, but he was in opposition wasn't he, so how could he have any influence over this?

Replies: 177 Councillors expenses Views: 4,103 Posted By accysimon Re: Councillors expenses I agree John. After all, no one forces people to put their name forward to stand as a councillor, it's their choice voluntarily. I appreciate that there may be some money lost if having time off work...

Replies: 177 Councillors expenses Views: 4,103 Posted By accysimon Re: Councillors expenses I think the 09/10 Mileage expenses are worth reading too, with one Councillor claiming over £1000, another £800+ and the rest around £200.

Replies: 177 Councillors expenses Views: 4,103 Posted By accysimon Re: Councillors expenses I can think of nothing worse than a Councillor asking for a PACT meeting or two, to be rearranged as they can't attend the originals, only to not turn up or submit apology's.

Replies: 177 Councillors expenses Views: 4,103 Posted By accysimon Re: Councillors expenses I don't see why you should be able to do this either. How many businesses allow staff to claim travel expenses to their place of work? which, effectively, is what Councillors could be classed as...

Replies: 177 Councillors expenses Views: 4,103 Posted By accysimon Re: Councillors expenses Who gets the child care expenses if the 16/17 yr old is at work or college? Can the employer or lecturer claim them then? What this seems to show is that some councillors, alledgedly, look after...
