Spin, Dirty Tricks and Expenses

One of the characteristics of an independent councillor is the ability to speak out without political reprisal.  True or Untrue? I’ll let you be the judge. You have a right to know directly from me all about the issues that are affecting your local councillor who is trying to do a good job representing you, rather than someone else.

Residents in the wake of revelations about our MP’s are now turning to our local councillors.  The Rochford Lib Dems published the “Councillors’ Allowance Claims April 2007 – March 2008″ on their web site at http://onlinefocus.org/?p=1277 if you want to read the detail. Rochford District Council will be publishing updated figures for 2009 very shortly.
