As far as I can understand some of the recommendations were acceptable, others weren't. Hence why some councillors chose to ignore them, and voted to award themselves the vastly increased allowances.

Can we expect to see locally a similar attitude trickle down from national politics, with MPs calling for reform, and a more sensitive understanding of public opinion, or will some local councillors carry on next year, with the same disregard to the recommendations of an independent panel, and continue to turn a blind eye to the ensuing public outrage?
