Councillor's expences

1.59.49pm BST (GMT +0100) Fri 10th Jul 2009

At last night's full council I asked a question of the Leader of the Council:

1. Question submitted by Councillor Brodie Browne to the Leader of the Council (Councillor Robertson)

"Can the Leader use his best endeavours to have placed on the Council website a detailed list of all allowances actually paid to individual Councillors, both by the Council and by those bodies - both locally and nationally - funded from the Council tax through a precept or levy"

Some Councillors make large claims from other bodies funded by the Council which do not appear on Sefton's website. In some case that may take the total claim up to ask much as £60k. We think it ought to easy for members of the public to find that out.
