Some Of The Rate Payers In Durham,

seemed a bit upset,

when they found out that the chairwoman and vice chairwoman both receive a clothing allowance on top of their official salaries, in the case of councillor Linda Marshall she receives £8,580 and councillor Pauline Charlton receives £4,280 allowance for their clothes, taking the case of  Linda Marshall she receives a tad under £20,000 a year for her civic duties, so I guess the £8,580 extra she receives for clothes does seem like a lot, but here is an idea of mine for the cash flush Durham County Council that has refused to axe the perk, I am sure my idea will make everyone in this rich borough happy,


use the total of £8,580 and the £4,280 that both ladies receive and send them here to Thailand, I have just looked on last minuet dot com and a holiday out here starts at about £800 each for a week, the tailors out here would love to see them, with the roughly £11,000 money that is left from the clothes allowance both ladies would have the finest Thai silk dresses that would last them for both their terms of office and give the money that is left over back to the council, well I thought it was a great idea!
