Do me a favour. All the news 'over five years' (aka the next government) Ah retirement you mean ?
The gravy train is about to hit the buffers.
Severnside gull, as you say. West Sussex County Council is cutting £2 million from its Youth Service, but councillors' allowances are going up. How they can justify that I do not know.

How much do councillors get paid?Bet the cost cutting won't extend to councillors' salaries and expenses (except for perhaps cutting out the choccy biccies at meetings)
And the problem with political democracy is that substantial numbers of voters will want to disagree with the decisions that their elected representatives make.
. B&H Council revealed the other day that seven members of the council staff earn six-figure salaries.
That's certainly true.I'm struck by how rapidly council officials salaries have risen. B&H Council revealed the other day that seven members of the council staff earn six-figure salaries. Even allowing for inflation, I'm sure that wasn't the case 30 years ago - perhaps his Lordship could give an indication as to whether my perception is accurate or not.
Obviously councillors have a difficult executive role,whilst youth workers just play football with da yoof,and run discos.
