People that decided to stand for election, knew the allowances they were entitled to before the election. To then start moaning that it doesn't equate with the mimimum wage, as Peter Britcliffe did is disgraceful.

Very heartening to see two of the youngest members of the Council standing up and publicly stating their opposition to this massive hike of 26%.

Hardly cutting our cloth accordingly, when the Borough is still in such financial dire straits no matter what recent spin they try to attach to it.

Well done Cllrs. Hamilton and Jones for speaking out.
