Public Cash Spent on Hotels

In the Echo on Monday, Terry Cutmore, Conservative Leader of Rochford District Council said “there is nothing wrong with the council’s practices. The whole council is involved - not just the Conservative Members”
RDC spent £4000 including £1395 spent at the Western Ivy hotel and restaurant in Margaretting.

So it is not true, The Rochford Independent, aka Councillor John Mason, is not involved but FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD, Conservative and Lib Dem Members are.
