| Comment | Maybe I'm weird... but I honestly don't care about this, and wouldn't if it was a Labour, Green, Lib Dem or even a Tory Lord Provost that had this covered in their expenses.
It's a ceremonial position, with ceremonial demands on the job - and that's on top of the Provost's regular job as a ward councillor.
Councillors get paid a pittance for their role, so I have zero issue with the city covering costs for transport / clothing / extra expenses related to attending civic events or ceremonial work (i.e. looking the part). |
