Stoke-on-Trent councillors defend pay rise plans

THE CHAIRMAN of an independent panel which told councillors they can take a pay rise has defended the group's decision.
The Sentinel revealed last week how all 44 city councillors have been given the green light to take an increase in their allowances from May, despite a continued pay freeze for staff and £24 million budget cuts hitting frontline services.
Members have immediately come under pressure from residents' groups to turn down the pay offer at tonight's full council meeting.
Ken Sproston, of Stafford, who is chairman of the three-man remuneration panel, insisted it is not the panel's job to consider the public's perception.
The 62-year-old said: "It's not up to us to take that into account. That's a matter for the council.
"All we are doing is making recommendations, that's our job.
"Allowances are paid using taxpayers' money and the final decision rests with those who are elected.
"We make recommendations, and we do that thoroughly and systematically."
Mr Sproston, university secretary at Staffordshire University, said the panel's main concerns were ensuring members' allowances are fair and reflect the amount of time spent on council work.
The panel received questionnaires from 60 per cent of councillors and about 12 responded to requests to attend in person to discuss the allowances scheme.
Mr Sproston added: "We have a number of principles established which we try to work within, such as fair structures reflecting the amount of time being put in and nobody having more than one special responsibility allowance.
"We asked councillors for their views on things like time spent on the role, which obviously varies considerably.
"And we asked for feedback on the specifics of the system and anything they wanted to tell us."
Fellow panel members Bill Buckley and George Slater are both city residents.
If the increases go ahead, council leader Mohammed Pervez's role will receive an allowance of £48,000 – up £4,000.
Deputy leader Paul Shotton's role climb from £27,500 to £30,000, while all eight cabinet members receive £24,000, an extra £2,000.
Ward councillors with no special responsibility will receive £12,000, up from £11,000, and committee chairman will get £21,000, up from £19,250.
Councillor Paul Breeze, who represents Birches Head and Central Forest Park, is voting in favour of the increase.
The non-aligned councillor receives the basic £11,000 allowance.
He said: "My honest case is that I work seven days a week, well in excess of 50 hours, and when you look at it that way it is far below minimum wage.
"When I was a councillor in virtually the same area between 2003 and 2007 there were three members, now there are only two of us here and most of the ward issues come to me because Mark Meredith is understandably busy with his cabinet work.
"I don't think councillors should vote on it. The panel should just set the allowances.
"It is never going to be popular, regardless of the economic climate."

Remploy factory to close with loss of 100 jobs

MORE than 100 disabled workers are to lose their jobs after their factory was earmarked for closure.
The Government-funded Remploy plant at Trentham Lakes is to shut "within the year" with the loss of 114 jobs.
The Remploy board has now identified 36 out of its 54 factories as "unviable", despite a 100,000-name petition to safeguard their future.
The announcement comes after the Department for Work and Pensions accepted recommendations set out in the Sayce report that funding should be focused on individuals.
Workers at the Gordon Banks Drive plant were told about the plans at a meeting yesterday and a 90-day consultation period is now underway.
Alex Pullin said he had been promised a job "for life" when he joined Remploy as a 16-year-old in 1988.
The 39-year-old, of Wood Lane, said: "I phoned my fiancee Joanne as soon as we got the news – we were going to get married next year, but I'm not sure if we'll be able to now."
The 36 factory closures will lead to the loss of more than 1,700 jobs and unions fear the remaining 18 sites are likely to shut "in due course".
Calvin Fraser, of Middleport, called on companies such as JCB to give more work to the plant, which carries out jobs, including assembly for car companies and book binding.
The 57-year-old, who has worked there for 32 years, said: "If we got more work perhaps the factory could stop open."
Unite representative Colin Hanley, pictured, added: "We are devastated. All we can do is go down fighting."
Remploy closed its Stoke factory in 2002 and its Newcastle operation in 2007.
More than 3,000 people in the region signed the petition to save North Staffordshire's last Remploy factory last year.
Stoke-on-Trent South MP Rob Flello said: "I'm appalled at how the Government is hitting the most vulnerable people in our society."
Liz Sayce, chief executive of disability rights charity RADAR, was commissioned to find out how the Government's £320 million disability employment services could be better spent last year.
Maria Miller, Minister for Disabled People, said: "The budget has been protected, but by spending the money more effectively, we can get thousands more disabled people in work."
Shop stewards are due to meet later this month to discuss their next move.

The murderous British government



Todays news tells us of another 6 of our brave troops have been killed in Afghanistan that brings the running total to 404 since 2001 in Afghanistan alone.
How many more are the murderous British government going to allow to die in a war that has nothing to do with us.
It seems to me that this and previous governments have set out to destroy the British military one way or another.This is tantamount to genocide.
I charge that this and previous governments are tried for the murder of British patriotic soldiers.
I DEMAND THAT ALL BRITISH MILITARY ARE BROUGHT BACK HOME NOW .
If you agree i call on all patriots to bombard your mps with letters and e mails demanding the immediate withdrawral of our brave men and women before any more are killed and maimed in this illegal war

Jailed for attempted rape: Taxi driver Azuka Oluh gave schoolgirl £5 'hush money'

CHURCH volunteer Azuka Oluh was today starting a lengthy prison sentence after attempting to rape a schoolgirl.
Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court yesterday heard the 35-year-old married father-of-one stopped his taxi after seeing the girl at a bus stop.
The girl got in, believing he was going to take her to school. But he drove to his home in St George's Avenue, Burslem, where he attempted to rape her.
Prosecutor David Bennett said: "She continually asked him to take her to school. He kissed her mouth. She pulled away, saying she had to go to school.
"The defendant told her he would look after her and give her things."
The court heard he led the schoolgirl to his bedroom and began touching her and removed clothing. He stopped when she said she was a virgin.
"He got dressed and took her to school," said Mr Bennett.
"He gave her £5 and told her not to tell anyone. He offered to give her more money."
The girl went to a friend's house and the police were contacted. A used condom was recovered. His DNA was found on swabs taken from the victim.
Oluh, a Nigerian national, pleaded guilty to attempted rape.
Mark Connor, mitigating, said: "It was an attempt. He asked her if she was a virgin and he stopped. He realised what he was doing was wrong and he stopped.
"He did not go through with it and it was his decision not to go through with it."
Mr Connor added that Oluh was extremely sorry for his actions.
Judge Paul Glenn sentenced Oluh to five years and four months in prison with an extended licence period of four years.
The defendant will be on the sex offenders' register indefinitely and was disqualified from working with children indefinitely.
Judge Glenn said Oluh was a dangerous man. He said: "Your victim was a schoolchild going to school. Instead of taking her to school you took her to your home address, against her express wishes.
"You pushed her upstairs. She tried to push you off without success.
"You gave her £5. That was hush money. She was highly distressed.
"You have admitted being sexually attracted to adolescent girls.
"Your conduct was quite persistent, calculated and deliberate.
"I take the view you meet the criteria of a dangerous offender."
