Asked whether he had considered turning down the returning officer fee, to which he is entitled at every election, council chief executive Steve Robinson
said: "I didnât see a need for that".
The council's accounts show Robinson's benefits in kind, including his car allowance, rose from £1,000 to £2,000 last year and his employer's pension contribution rose from £37,000 to £40,000 resulting in an overall £17,000 rise in his financial package of £235,000 compared with the previous year.
It is customary on these occasions to ask for reasons why we should not rise up and slaughter them ... but if I can't think of any, why should our readers?
