Today finds me having a quick peek at which Swindon Councillors have seats at the Wiltshire Fire Service Authority trough.
From Swindon Borough Council we find 4 Cllr’s:
Cllr David Wren, (Conservative, Moredon),
Cllr Mike Bawden, (Conservative, Old Town & Lawn)
Cllr Nick Martin, (COnservative, Shaw & Nine Elms)
Cllr Derique Montaut, (Labour, Central).
Councillor Wren Trousers £4,578 plus mileage per year, Cllr’s Bawden, Martin & Montaut an easy £2,145 per year for turning up to few meetings….
….and all of them, I am told, can claim the generous 65 pence per mile allowance for using their cars, more if they carry passengers.

Nice work if you can get it.
