I suspect the majority of Council spending is set by the Council Officers and not the Councillors.

It would be interesting to know what the percentage split is between spending decided by Councillors and departmental budgets for refuse, cleansing, parks, licensing etc that is decided on by the department managers and accountants?
Apparently some of that information will be sent out with your Council Tax bill.

It's sort of a sweetner, to take your attention from how much you actually have to pay.

Hot dogs and cans of Coke are very expensive in London, don't forget.
