Will we now get to learn the truth about Rugby’s councillors allowances?

27 Jun 2015
Rugby Town Hall
Will the town hall vote for transparency on Monday?

The last time the town's top tories met in their cabinet they decided to delay publishing details of the monies paid to councillors in allowances and expenses - see http://rugbylibdems.org.uk/en/article/2015/1086255/tories-vote-to-delay-publishing-councillors-allowances

However the law says these payments must be published.

This Monday the cabinet meets again. Will they agree to publish these payments this time?

We predict that whenever they agree to publish the total bill for 2014-15 will be shown to be £343,000 and the three councillors who received the highest amounts in allowances and expenses will be shown to be:

Michael Stokes (Con, Admirals and Cawston) - £15,760

Derek Poole (Con, Wolston & the Lawfords) - £13,044

Leigh Hunt (Con, Clifton, Newton & Churchover) - £12,181

... just as we said it would be back on 6 June 2015 - see http://rugbylibdems.org.uk/en/article/2015/1085516/councillors-allowances-to-be-published .
