I don't have too much of a problem with mileage expenses because the amounts are quite small and the officer who looks after the forms won't let you get away with anything which you are't entitled to.

I think the 09/10 Mileage expenses are worth reading too, with one Councillor claiming over £1000, another £800+ and the rest around £200.
