Let's just hope the people of Hyndburn think the increases are worth it, when they are paying for it via their council Tax bills.
Lets deal with reality, facts, figures. If 5 councillors have been to London, even at upper limit that's £170+£35 for breakfast, lunch and evening meal. Times by 5, although I am not aware of them all going in one year, but lets be conservative with the value.

That's 0.007% of the council budget. Do you spend much time watching for your milkman slipping?

Oh yes, £35 for a days allowance in London, that's exactly the same as Unison the trade union, or at least it was a few years ago.
