Digging around, as you do, I came across an explanation of how much more of our money council employees are entitled to...

Meals allowances of up to £23.55 per day.

Eye tests £15 plus £50 towards the cost of glasses and a further £25 if necessary.

In addition to the car loan (this one kills me!) The authority will grant £62 per month towards the cost of a car loan taken out with the authority.

Additional Life Insurance paid by the Authority for all employees.

Health screening for Principal Officers.

Reductions on Leisure Services of 20% to 50%.

Use of a free Mini Gym at Cannon Street.

25 year long service award, currently £350.

Relocation Expenses:£3,500 plus...

Legal Fees for purchase/sale of property
Estate Agents Fees
Moving expenses
Surveyors fees for valuation and mortgage
Storage Charges
Indemnity Insurance
£1000 contribution to new furnishings.

And they still cannot keep the streets clean or collect the rubbish efficiently. It is perhaps no wonder that they cannot balance the books. Something for you to think about while you are slogging your guts out for £4.20 per hour and worrying how you will be able to afford this years council tax increase.
