I don't believe for one minute that you believe that, you must have more money than sense if you do.

Yes, Andrewb's mother although you get upset if it's mentioned, why who do you think you are?

When are you going to make a pertinent post to any thread then?

Seeing as you have such a high position?

You couldn't make this up. You scream that Peter Britcliffe is a terrible man for taking an allowance greater than Rossendale council, but when your own allowances are questioned you won't take your advice.

No working for the common good, constantly trying to trip the Conservatives up. Demands Conservatives have Rossendale level of allowances then refuses to do the same with their own allowance. Complains the Conservatives take special allowances for additional roles, then takes special allowances themselves. Absolutely hypocritical. Same old Hyndburn Labour.

Andrew, if you tell your mother to stop posting in these threads, you might have some sort of credibility. As it is she is doing you no favours what so ever. No personal issue against you and all that. lets just talk politics. but please.......

I was comparing the level of Allowances of Hyndburn to those of Rossendale. I did not (as far as I am aware say that Peter Britcliffe should be paid the same as Rossendale). It is the Tories who abolished the rule that Hbc cllrs could only have 1special allowance. You will note that I am only claiming ONE I repeat (because you appear under a false delusion) ONE special responsibilty allowance.

There is at least 1Tory councillor being paid a substanial special allowance who has not attended every meeting of that committee. I will leave it to you to discover the vice chair I am refering too. None of the Labour group is paid an extra allowance for attending any of these meetings.

If Rossendale Councillors did the job for less than £3k in 2007-2008 - why does it take 95% more in members allowance for Hyndburn Borough Councillors to do their job. Are you 95% better at doing the work than the Rossendale Councillors?

Claytonender, you directly compared Britcliffes allowances with Rossendale. Does it hurt when somebody does the same for your allowances? Awh.

They seem more than capable of doing that themselves.

If they ever have enough skills to master tying their own shoelaces, things might hopefully improve on that front.
