Rejected petition Review Surrey County Council allowance increases (in light of tax rises)

Surrey Conservative Councillors awarded themselves thousands of pounds of extra allowances. The vote means that 4 new Deputy Cabinet positions will be created, at a cost of £40K a year, as well as extra allowances for committee vice-chairs. This is at the same time as tax rises and cuts.
