Title: Councillors Home Addreses
Post by: alan@marple on July 17, 2012, 11:23:54 PM
I could not help noticing in the Stockport Review paper delivered today, that most of the elected representatives home addresses are published, with the exception of the leader- Councillor Derbyshire-her's is c/o the town hall.

The ousted former leader Goddard was also listed as care of the town hall.

As the others are happy to have this information published, I am just curious as to why!

Done on the advice of the police as the role attracts nutters

Also the Leaders role is, unlike other members, full time and she is in the TH everyday and unlike others has secretarial support/PA so things get dealt with more quickly by contacting her at her place of work.

The Leader of the Council has much more power/control over budgets and peoples lives than say a back bench MP and has to work accordingly.
