I am conjuring up a vision of PB in a frock - which colour do you think would suit him best?

Re: hyndburn council
 

Yellow stripes might be his favourite colour when dodging issues. :D

Re: hyndburn council
 

Not necessarily spent as such - from what I understand they get a basic allowance which all councillors get, then they get extra if they have a cabinet post. That, of course, means that it's only Conservatives at the moment who have the larger basic allowance. Then they get additional allowances for being part of certain committees and attending certain meetings. Clearly, the leader of the council is going to claim the most because he's going to be on most committees as well as getting the basic allowance and the basic leaders allowance.

What all this doesn't take into account is the amount of time they put in for their constituents. They are 'on call' every minute of the day, and some people wouldn't hesitate to ring at all hours of the day.

I had to pop into the council offices yesterday and whilst there I bumped into four councillors. This was the middle of the afternoon so obviously none of them were earning money elsewhere.

Partly I think so yes. How much would you expect someone running Hyndburn to get paid as a full or part time job? I wonder what the top Council officers are paid?

Re: hyndburn council
 

They have to be suitably qualified...unlike our councillors.;)

Re: hyndburn council
 

And the qualifications are ?

Do they have to submit a C.V.. ?

Go on Garinda ... you good at this, lay down the necessary qualifications ..:D

I'll start:-

Question 1: In your opinion, is it necessary to have the talent to spin words to appear as if you are only spending a small amount of money on projects, such as re-branding, when in fact only 'towards' the costs, therefore, conning the voters (had to get that in somewhere :D)

Re: hyndburn council
 

(Question2.) can you answer a voters question, with a question thats not relavant to what they talking about?;)

Re: hyndburn council
 

Of course they have to be qualified, they have to be over 18 (or is it 21?). :rolleyes:

Re: hyndburn council
 

The professionals who are employed by the council do have to submit C.V.'s, and go through the due interview procedures, just like any job.

The real power, and what actually happens politically, is decided by the councillors though.

Re: hyndburn council
 

similar to what Blair did with the WMD report?:D

Is Dobson gonna be investegated for his spending after them banners
