As you have been critising something you have not seen. I am going to post a copy of the Christmas card my husband and I delivered to the residents of Church ward.
As for being discriminatory based on wealth, all councillors are entitled to claim the same basic allowances. 3 out of the 6 Tory councillors in Oswaldtwistle are also Cabinet members as are 2 out of the 3 Tory councillors in Great Harwood - so their allowances are much larger.
