an independent panel has rebuked k.c.c. members for going after a cut of only 1.5% of their allowances while support jobs are going.
a total of £.200,000 is being cut but only £.16400 is due to the cut in allowances, the rest is on getting shot of support staff.
this will be cosidered at full council on thursday the 12th of may.

It seems to be the way of these things now Howard the solution to all ills is to get rid of support staff. I believe the same thing is happening at DDC. But where all these people are supposed to find jobs I dont know.
I dont know myself what the allowance levels are at KCC...perhaps they are treadbare already??

the basic allowance is £.13000 p.a. which the council want to reduce by £.200.
the opposition leader wants a cut of £.1000.
i am not sure how much extra cabinet members get.

Sorry Paul, you have that wrong.
DDC ARE REDUCING ALLOWANCES BY 10% for all members & also reducing Cabinet & Shadow Cabinet numbers, i.e. further savings.
Also reducing IT & Computer provisions to members.

Not all members Paul, but Labour support this move of reducing all members allowances by 10% .
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!
