According to this weekend's Accrington Observer, HBC voted to award themselves a pay rise of £5,000. An amendment brought in by Labour councillors, opposing the increases, was overturned.

The leader of Hynburn Borough Council, Peter Britcliffe, saw his pay rise by a staggering 20%, because of their decision.

I wonder how many workers in Hyndburn will have to settle for pay rises this year, more in line with inflation, of between 2-3%?

Never mind.

Perhaps Mr Britcliffe will spend his pay increase on toiletries, and each morning as he's pampering himself, will look in the mirror and say,
'Because I'm worth it!'
