Re: Well it's local elections, did you bother to vote?
Neil, the thing is that in days gone by they did it for pride...for the local area.
I don't know whether local councillors make lots of money...and it really depends on what your definition of 'lots of money' is.
If councillors are making 30,00 per year( and I don't know if they are or not) that is a very nice earner.
No-one is saying that they should be out of pocket......but neither should it be the main income (unless they are spending 40 hours a week doing the job).
