They don't care it's not there money as far as there concerned it's there to spend on themselves and there fancy trips. To be honest after this video nothing will change they will still get paid thousands and do there trips because it will all be forgotten.
Why are council wages not limited to a max of £100k a year? Why are expenses also not limited depending on the job they do? An why are expenses for transportation also not limited to £5k or the cost of a yearly train travel card. There is no reason what so ever for a member of the council to be claiming flights on expenses. The problem is councils across the uk now use the people as a cash cow. They charge the people for everything from car parking on the peoples land to go shopping on the high street. As councils don’t own land or property it belongs to the people, councils just look after it on their behalf. Councils subcontract out services at an added cost to the people, instead of having them services done in-house who it use to be. But even if they subcontract out the services they still have the same amount of people working in the office for that department to do nothing. Housing farmed out to housing associations,in which the councils pay them if a person or family is on benefits to only get a small percentage of it back. It’s as if councils have forgotten their primary purpose is to serve the people. The same as councillors don’t hold or have power within a council tho they are voted in by the people. It’s the directors and senior management that have the power. They are the ones that also waste the most money, with stupid ideas and being over paid in wages. So when are the people going to get to vote for who they want as a director of the council? When are the senior management going to be held accountable. Most councils employ the most incompetent and lazy people that if they worked for a private limited company would be sacked for gross misconduct or incompetence. Yet they seem to work for the councils, looking after their mates at a cost to those that really need help or services. When you look at council tax, it’s a joke. Rubbish collection paid for weekly, but only corrected every two weeks, police services yet the local police station closed on the understanding that it cost cutting and saving money on joining services with other local police, the total lack of police in the community on the beat over pcso’s a complete failed experiment over beat constables. All at an added cost to the taxpayers. The same with police vehicles they don’t need high powered vehicles, when every police service has helicopters. An there is no need for police to drive round at 30 mph as the are not spotting crime or know who is in the local gangs on the street corn. The total lack of intelligence, leaves the police no idea what is going on in the community. This can be clearly seen by the crime rates, the lack of investigations into burglaries, vehicle crime, drugs, county lines, stabbings etc… Yet the people are paying a premium for these services, which ever are very clearly not getting. It’s time the people toke back control of councils and made the councils for fill their primary purpose, which is to serve the people. An most importantly hold the people like directors and senior managers accountable. Ie sack them without any pension, those claiming on expenses forced to pay it all back. As the only thing they need to claim is for stationary, basic travel if a bus pass or train travel card cannot be used. Basic fuel for mileage on vehicles with proof that it was for council business. No more money for food at a meeting, only tea and coffee or bottled water. No more paying for their lunch meetings as they could have them in the office. But no matter things will not change, they will just get worse, and the people will let that happen, after all they have let it happen for the last 30 plus years.
Fascinating. You need this guy on every day
Ask the airlines the name of the passengers. They can just pay it all back. And, of course, kick them off the council.
What about the cost of all the flights sir k is having at the moment Canada, France, all on tax payers.
