Is it
a) Before or after the installation of the Mayor?
b) Before or after the installation and swearing in of the new councillors? or
c) Before or after the presentation of the cheque for the refreshments to the member for Baxenden?
It is an important constitutional issue in the current climate of cuts.

As I understand any award which is for a certain office should be handed back before the next election for the holder of that office. Not being well up in politics I don't know whether a) or b) is relevant in this situation, will the election of the Mayor affect who is the leader?
If c) is the case then where do I go for my free butties.
