Yes they do. The normal LCC/HBC pension but only pro rata their income/allowances. No extra payments allowed. Of course getting knocked off means you discontinue payments too.
Because there are some nasty people around i will put it in this order.
1. I haven't claim petrol/mileage
2. I haven't claim childcare despite having a child (this may change!!!!! LOL)
3. I do put into the pension scheme - none of the other 35 councillors do. Because of Maggie we never had enough (or regular enough) to put into a pension so I, like many my age, have nothing (other than this small pension).
I notice Councillor Britcliffe is lining up another personal attack on me. One trip to London that cost £90. He knows HIS staff could only get me a train fare for £200 to London.
Labour Councillors looked this up and after some searching found it was available for £140.
I know he is lining up any personal attack he can get in.
