Should our Councillors Take The Pain?

The Conservative run HDC is running a £4.9 million deficit. HDC is also looking introduce a "Stealth Tax" on the Town Council by shifting the cost of Public Toilets. What I did notice in the Budget was £5,000 set aside to review Councillor allowances.
Review Councillor Allowances???!!!
This would only be an upward move. When this Council truly balances the budget (NO BUDGET DEFICIT) then Councillors should be looking at their Allowances.
Until then, the Councillors who got us into this mess should be taking the pain along the residents.  I say: Halve Councillor Allowances and Special Responsibility Allowances until the budget is balanced.
