In theory, someone could leave school aged just sixteen, get a job as a nursery assistant, looking after other peoples' children...and their parent/s could still claim child care expenses for them for a whole year.

Madness.

I find it amazing that the Tories will not come out and justify these actions, therefore treating the electorate with contempt. The 'people' voted them in, but they don't seem to care about that, they just make decisions, seemingly, which will benefit themselves.

I suspect the public gallery would be a little more full if council meetings were like Gladiator battles:

Have to admit to being a tyro when it comes to local politics, but.
If PB works very hard for his miserely stipend, then why do we need a managing director?
Just asking.

Probably for the same reason we need a Town Centre manager

The Managing Director has to be above politics. He has to have the skills of tact, diplomacy, level headedness, and ability to manage to ensure the Council steers a proper course of legality. The current one seems to be doing a pretty good job.

PB is a politician. By definition, politicians dont have those skills.

I suspect a 'Name & Shame' exercise on those councillors who do take the 3.5% rise could well reap excellent dividends come May.

I presume the Deputy Leader's expenses should read £17,038., not '£1,7038' as printed.

There's a comment from Hyndburn Indpendents after the article in the Telegrapgh

Quote:

So come on Hyndburn public support the Independents in May remembering we do not and will not serve the ping pong that is party politics, we will always put the peoples well being first. Time for change, rid Hyndburn of Mr. Britcliffe simply vote Independent

Aren't the Independents currently responsible for keeping Britcliffe in power ?

I thought that was the case...perhaps someone in the know will enlighten us.
