1,000 and counting........

Just a little note to say thank you to all the people who  have hit the "FCCL"site over the weekend, there has been over ONE THOUSAND HITS since friday evening when we announced we were having a weekend off. (Which had a great deal to do with reading documents, singing, rabbits and a dose of man flu).

But with the smell of honey and lemon in the back ground and the effects of last nights large swig  of nightnurse slowly wearing off we are ready to start unpicking the tale of who gets paid what in West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue.

On September 14th the fire authority audit committee met to approve this years accounts, and we can't help but wonder if the councillors on it toes curled the  same as ours did when we read them. ............

In 2010 -11 the authority employed 15 people in the pay band £50 - 54,999   (Thats roughly  £25/26 an hour )


In 2011-12  that had increased by 100% to 30!

This is from a service that is going to get cut by up to 25% in coming years. That is selling off PUBLIC assets including in our opinion historic ones.   

We at FCCL think that the fire authority should look to doing some serious housekeeping 

before cutting
