Would it not be better if it was raised by a taxpayer though ? ;)

May be we should have a list of more important tax wasting issues by the council/county than a minor by-election in a small area of the borough/county. :)

that i would not dispute, as council leader though leaves "Much" to be desired.

If I did win, one thing is clear I would inform both DC & LCC to stop my allowances (I don't claim expenses except Train Fare to LCC) and to backdate that to GE day.

IIRC by elections cost £2000 to the tax payer?

Why would you inform them to stop your allowances? If you're doing the job you should be getting paid. Unless of course you think you're only going to be doing half a job since you'd be in London most of the week if elected?

Still, I doubt if Graham would be claiming to have his moat cleaned out or for a new duckhouse.

Graham has explained Andrew what he intends to do should he be elected. Why don't you just accept what he says and leave it that.

I have said before I don't agree with you on that one. You should take what you are entitled too. If many other Councillors took your stance those that can't afford to not take the money may not put themselves forward for election fearing they would be looked on badly for claiming. We have the expenses system so anyone can be a Councillor.
