A number of corespondents from County Hell have informed that the updated councillors allowances have been published for the year. It seems that just being a councillor is worth £12,900 a year whilst the "Leader" of the council receives an additional £30,000+ allowance. Then of, course, there appears to be lots of "expenses" which can also be claimed, as well as money for sitting of committees or having a cabinet post.
One wit has said the only thing they don't seem to be able to claim for is a visit to the loo!. But they do claim to spend a penny as long as its yours.
No wonder Cllr and Cllr Quigley are now widely known as Mr and Mrs Quidsin.
