WREXHAM COUNCIL VOTES TO KEEP HIGHER COUNCILLOR PAY

At full council this afternoon Tory, Independent and Lib Dem councillors in Wrexham voted to keep senior councillors salaries at a higher level rather than reduce it.

At a time when frontline services are being cut with much worse to come, this slippery decision will cost £41,700 every year.

Plaid Cymru voted to make the cut to senior salaries and Cllr Carrie Harper reminded council that they were paid to make #difficultdecisions.

The recorded vote revealed 31 voted for, 16 against.
