Civic Duty and doing the best for the people that live here. I certainly think a lot of Councillors are of that intention ( at least initially) But something seems to happen. They are consumed either by ego,high politics or ambition and before you know it the last thing they have on their duty is towards local people. It's then all about votes and potential votes. And we have more than a few councils which simply because of their political allegiance, will willingly dance to the tune of the Mayor of London and his half baked policies and policymakers, no matter how unsuitable these happen to be. I think more renumeration would simply lead to wanting even more. It should be minimal and no more than costs met. But the endless sessions of meetings and what really is far too big a borough makes the demands far too great, to complex and the end results all too often, really poor. I think it really is time to split oversized boroughs and have far more localised councils that truly reflect and service the local population to a far more bespoke model than currently is impossible and ends up with such a mish mash.
