Council lying about its expenses

Straightforward admission by Herefordshire Council that it baldly lies about how Cllrs expenses are dealt with:

"It is understood that you have also highlighted an anomaly in the notes which accompany the annual public notice." 

It's more than an anomaly.
This document published on the Council's own website states clearly that no money will be paid without the production of receipts.

Very reassuring to concerned council tax payers, eh?

Only it's a complete and utter lie.

So long as they don't go above a limit of £250 a month for travel (ring any Bill Wiggin shaped bells?) our trustworthy Councillors can claim, and be paid, what they like.

Since some of them have claimed many thousands for "travel & subsistence", I think we'll be asking to see some receipts next week...

Oh, and I've made an official request for the name of the Council officer responsible for writing and publishing this document, the sole purpose of which was to pull the wool over electors' eyes.
