Cut Cabinet members allowances
We the undersigned express our concern at the excessive allowances Barnet Conservative cabinet members have awarded themselves; whilst noting the recent increase is to be cancelled as the result of public pressure, we believe the allowances still remain too high in light of the cuts in services the Council is imposing; accordingly we demand that the Council reduce the allowances regime for its Cabinet members by a minimum of 5%; that the Leader's allowance be reduced by 10%; and that any Councillor whose combined allowances and pay from public offices exceeds £100,000 should have his or her allowances capped at that figure.
