It's reported the old level was 'just over £10', and is now £25.
I've no doubt that an increase was probably due, as the independent body also found. After all even with low inflation the price of everything else has also gone up too.
The problem came about when some councillors chose to ignore the independently arrived at limit, and set their own.
Which by any standard, especially in these financially challenging times, is a massive percentage increase.
I bet nurses, and lots of other important key workers, wish they too could vote to award themselves similar massive rises.
