2 February 2019 13:38354080Thanet District Council has 56 Councillors (DDC at present 45, reducing in May to 35)!
I once asked a Thanet District Councillor why they needed so many and was told it was because there were always a number either suspended, imprisoned or helping the police with their enquiries.
