REBEL Independent Councillors, Terry Chivers and Jeff Osborn are asking the residents of Wiltshire to send a clear message to Councillor Jane Scott, and the ruling Conservatives on Wiltshire Council, by turning up en masse at the Special Council meeting being held at County Hall, Trowbridge on 4th February.
The special meeting is being held to try and reverse the decision that will see Councillor Scott and her Cabinet receive an increase in allowances of up to 37%. Cllr Terry Chivers said, “The Conservatives are on the run, and cracks are starting to appear in the Conservative group. Talking in private to some Conservative Councillors, it’s very clear that some of them are very unhappy at the greed of Jane Scott and her Magic Circle.
“We need the public to turn out en masse on 4th February to show Cllr Scott that she has to listen to the residents of Wiltshire; after all, it’s them that elected her and the Cabinet.”
Cllr Jeff Osborn said, “Let’s show Jane Scott, that she must listen to the residents of Wiltshire. We can reverse this decision but we need the support of the residents of Wiltshire to turn up on .
“Even if we are defeated on 4th February this issue will not go away; we will campaign against these increases until the next election when the public will send a clear message to Jane Scott by giving her a red card at the next council elections.”
