Cutting the cost of politics in Copeland
The budget passed by the Copeland Borough Council for 2015/16 included £100,000 for the salaries of the mayor and, if he or she decides to appoint one, a political assistant.
If I become mayor, I will not be making such an appointment.
Copeland needs more money spent on front-line services and on cutting costs to residents more than it needs extra money for politicians and their assistants.
I will seek to vire the money saved by not appointing a political assistant to front-line services and reduced parking charges. I will publish a proposal for reduced parking charges in Copeland Borough Council car parks before the end of this month.

recently you posted about the mayor salary being around £30k. now lets just say that that has been crushed and the mayor will £50k, and His personal assistant (That's what they are normally called) would earn around £20K
you see the problem? 50 + 20 is not 100
and 30 = 20 sure as damn it is not
that would be a first, one i would also not put past copeland council
