Going AWOL with your cash.

One of Swansea's new cabinet members Councillor Nick Bradley is a now a very busy man. He already has a demanding job at the university which means he spends a lot of time abroad. We thought we'd ask him how he was going to manage the two roles...

Dear Councillor Bradley

Congratulations on becoming a cabinet member. We were wondering if you were going to reduce the amount of international travel that your job at the university demands so that you can justify taking the allowance the taxpayers of Swansea are giving you.

And here's the reply.......

I am currently out of the office on annual lave until June 11th. I will answer e-mails upon my return.
Kind Regards
Cllr Nick Bradley

Cabinet Member for Regeneration



You are paying Nick Bradley £780 of his cabinet allowance, while he has gone AWOL for  a fortnight
So there you have it. Some serious explaining to do from Councillor Bradley then when he gets home. Last week at the council meeting he was given an extra £18,725 a year to take on the role. Having immediately gone AWOL until 11th June means that we are paying £780 for an absent cabinet member. Councillor Bradley represents the ward of Townhill. Hardly appropriate behaviour Councillor!
