YOU did a service to the electorate by revealing the names of the Kennet district councillors who voted in favour of the recent increase in allowances.

I understand that leaders of each political group also receive a payment of £80 per member. Is this correct?

Perhaps readers could be informed of the following: how many political groups are there? Who are the leaders of these groups? What does each leader receive at £80 per member?

I am also told that each councillor receives a free laptop. What is the cost of this?
