Warwickshire Councillors allowances
May 10th, 2009The County Councillors get paid a basic allowance, more for responsibility and over £100,000 in travel cost. We need to get the detail of how some have spent £1,000s on travelling. The most remarkable is local Freemason, Farmer and Cabinet member for Environment who charged us £8,672.52p for Travel in 2007/8.
Cllr Martin Heatley travels to London First Class and manages to claim for 52 miles round trip to have a meeting with the NFU at Shire Hall which is only 18 miles from his farm. Going the long way via M6 junction 2 only makes this a 45 mile round trip.
