I agree that many low-ranking councillors work hard for their money but what about those who, by what some cynical types might call toadying, rise to higher positions?
Why is Hangleton's Brian Fitch given an extra £10,000 a year on top of his basic allowance simply because he is Labour's whip?
Taxpayers are coughing up this disgraceful amount for somebody who tells councillors to vote in an unpopular way.
