That proposition was for three tiers of Councils. I am against bureaucracy. I have to pinch myself to even say the words Town Councils and 'Pennine Lancashire Authority because that's still 2 tiered government. The simplest I accept this compromise is along the lines of this for example: That Town Council's may choose the way/order/numeracy of grass cutting in their area but there will only be one grass cutting manager within the Unitary Council. And when you are talking Chief Execs salaries there are some savings to be made.

Somewhere nearer the beginning I said I thought it wrong for an MP who was an outgoing Councillor to claim both. In my case I would not claim a penny (allowances or expenses) past polling day. There are a lot of Councillors standing at the general. Wonder how many resign but collect up until to the day they leave office?
I think Andrew B is right, collectively the basic is £80k for the three. If you have maximum responsibilities it could be £64k+£25k+£30k.
