LETTER: How are councillors affected by cuts?
I believe they all get around £10,000 a year and another £5,000 for being on a committee.
Some committees must be redundant if everything is being closed or stopped.

I would like to see Coun Ann Western or her deputy, Coun Steve Freeborn, and all councillors take a cut.
They will blame the Conservative Government, but in my opinion Labour millionaire Blair got the country in to trouble and Cameron is getting us out.
I think the county council could save money by reducing councillor numbers and then they could afford to look after
the elderly and young and provide services, which is what we pay council tax for.
