West Sussex county councillor Bob Lanzer, Conservative for Maidenbower, states: “All of us are free to exercise whatever principles we believe in,” in relation to an allowance increase for councillors.
Believe in what you like Coun Lanzer – but not with our money.
For county councillors to grant themselves an increase while implementing savage cuts on the rest of us is morally unacceptable and obscene.
