Well, I've heard of one senior Labour councillor - a cabinet member, no less - who now lives in north London rather than in Acton. This is against Council rules apparently.

Seems his partner owns a property there and it's more convenient for her for work. He's keeping very quiet about it of course.

What is being overlooked is the ending of ward forums from this April. Some of our nicely remunerated councillors don't even hold surgeries, so residents have to rely on them to respond to email. Of course, if it's a matter that they don't want to deal with they will simply ignore it. I'm not sure that really serves the local community much, even if they are in the borough most of the time.

What's interesting is the lack of transparency from most of our councillors about their income from non council work. I was told by J Bell that the generous allowances they receive are vital because it means that anyone can become a councillor. However, most of them don't give up their day jobs, so they are effectively part time representatives anyway.
