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. |
My query is as to why the allowances needed to be increased by such a massive percentage, way above the rate of inflation, when presumably no one has been out of pocket previously.
Any comment about the facts and figures the £3,000 it apparently costs Hyndburn to send three councillors to the one day Rural Conference?
Or did you miss seeing that because of your political blinkers?
It's mentioned in post 95 by the way.
