Review Surrey County Council allowance increases (in light of tax rises)
Rejected

What the petition asks
Surrey Conservative Councillors awarded themselves thousands of pounds of extra allowances. The vote means that 4 new Deputy Cabinet positions will be created, at a cost of £40K a year, as well as extra allowances for committee vice-chairs. This is at the same time as tax rises and cuts.
