COUN Vassie says in his letter on Thursday, May 11, that the basic pay is £6,000 for councillors.
The average 'pay' for 2004/05 was £12,000 for each councillor, not bad for a part-time job. I always believed that being a councillor was a privilege and not a job. I haven't seen a reply to my previous letter about councillors giving up their expenses. Are they still discussing it?
The pigs are taking off again.
