It cannot be a coincidence that the announcement of 252 staff redundancies to be made by Wiltshire County Council, followed closely by an application made by council members for a huge increase in their allowances, came so soon after the county council elections in May this year.
Could it be that this greedy group are banking on the electorate’s short memory and all of this will be forgotten by the time the next council elections come around?
