Yes it does matter.
As I said earler, the cost of a hotel, or a meal in Harrogate, is the same if you're a councillor from Hyndburn or the Ribble Valley.
In theory the limit should be the same.
How much is taken is then up to the individual councillor.
Other councils appear to manage very well with a lower upper limit than Hyndburn, so voting to increase the limit in Hynburn by such a great a percentage, seems crass to say the very least.
