RUSS Mowberry (March 14) talks about our "profligate local councillors (some of whom are reputed to earn more than the PM in some parts of the country)".
Well as far as NELC is concerned, the basic allowance for a councillor is less than £7,500, while those on the Cabinet earn around £21,000. This is only a third of an MPs salary, let alone the Prime Minister's.
As for "car parking enforcement fascists", while no one would want them to be over-zealous, the fact is they are only there to deal with those who break the law.
And every day I see vehicles parking in the wrong direction to traffic at night, parking on double yellow lines and parking on pavements. As such, they often impede the law-abiding motorists we hear so much about.Tim Mickleburgh,
