Rejected petition Reduce the Number of Local Councillors

More details

Reduce the Number of Local Councillors in Leeds we have 99 Councillors, 33 wards and each ward has three Councillors. This is a massive burden on the public purse. We do not need more than one Councillor per ward.
I am sure other toens and cities also have far to many Councillors all costing us a small fortune in addtion many also have town Councillors which is an added cost.
