IT SEEMS to me that Warrington Council, by awarding themselves these big pay rises, are no different from the big city fat cats we read about in the nationals.

I appreciate that some expenses are incured but this is disgusting. The worst 'culprit' in my opinion is the office of mayor - a payment of £10,000 plus the use of a big car with chauffeur and all the other perks of the job at the expense of the ratepayer.

Surely this money could be put to better use in school nurseries, for example?
