I think that it is about time that we had a listing of who claims what when it comes to allowances and expenses.

How does HBC compare to other councils? Are they more poorly, or better recompensed?

Check this week's Observer page 5, to see who is the richest councillor,............ guess who is the richest :eek: lowest £1 - highest £17201.05.

I haven't seen the paper this week but the high earner wouldn't be the Idiot-in-Chief would it?

There are 9 councillors over £7k, a nice little earner for them and add their pensions to that not a bad income.
Our own Graham J has claimed a reasonable figure just over £3k. The councillor with the £1 claim must be a very public spirited person, or it's a printing error

The £1 claim for Malcolm Pritchard is not a printing error. I know the man, he does not believe in being paid for what he does. He is the local councillor in my area, i have always found him to be helpful and very approachable

If I tried for that kind of pay rise the boss would think I had gone cookoo. The voters gave them a job so can it be removed the same way. Voters should diside the rise given and if that ain't allowed make it performance related (like mine) were goals and objectives are set and your pay increase depends on how well you did along with attendance.

It's obvious that the higher earning councillors get their attendance right, they must look for committees to sit on. :rolleyes:
