SIR – We are being asked to vote for an elected mayor without knowing how he will be paid, how much his salary would be, whether he would he need extra staff in addition to those already at City Hall – in short what would it cost the council tax payers?
Would there still be a council leader in some lesser role? There will still be a Lord Mayor’s expenses to pay.
Not having access to the internet, I cannot follow the advice in the circular sent round by Bradford Council to check on it for arguments for and against. We pay enough for the inefficient council now.
