Council by committee proposal
Liberal Democrat councillors in Kirklees has proposed bringing back the old-fashioned committee system for running the council, claiming it will reduce the amount paid in allowances by £72,000 a year. Cllr Nicola Turner, Lib Dem group leader on Kirklees Council, said budget cuts mean that on current trends the authority will have shrunk by 40% by 2018, adding that moving to a committee system would trim the allowance budget by a similar figure.
