Rotherham Politics 
What really needs to be exposed are the ‘extra’ allowances (spending money) which councillors receive simply for being councillors. They are nominated by their peers to other groups, such as Police, Fire, Transport authorities and receive allowances for these as well. These allowances are published on the individual authorities websites, but they do not appear on the Rotherham Council website, so we council tax payers are being duped into thinking that our councillors actually do a lot more than they are paid for. There needs to be full transparency and councillors should be made to declare everything they receive by virtue of being a councillor, from whatever source.
