In my last post I drew attention to the fact that the poverty stricken council of Bolsover nether-the-less managed to pay its Councillors the highest allowances in the country. Apparently telling the public what is being done with their money has upset a few Bolsover Councillors who have been quick to claim that these allowances were based on recommendations of a panel.
I find this "it wasn't me" defence incredible - one moment Councillors are taking important decisions as leader of their community and worth ever penny of their allowances and more, but the moment you question them apparently all they do is rubber stamp officer report and recommendations. Power without accountability anyone?
