Council AGM Act 1: Labour Council leader appoints wife to senior position

Agrippina and Nero alias
Sybil Crouch and David Phillips
Confirmed in the Council AGM of 24th May. Labour Leader Councillor David Phillips appoints  his wife Councillor Sybil Crouch. Councillor Phillips salary is £52,700. Councillor Crouch's salary is £31,900. This represents a taxpayer contribution of £84,600. The move is well documented in the Evening Post .
What makes this move ironic is that Councillor Phillips has proclaimed himself the Cabinet Member for Anti Poverty and made his wife the cabinet member for Sustainability. For those into classics, the similarity between this couple and Agrippina and Nero is striking.
