My thanks to whoever asked asked the FoI question about how Cornwall Councillors spend their Community Chest local funds. Conservative councillor Sally Bain spent £75 on new kit for the Tywardreath Morris Dancers. It's a small grant, to be sure, but they all add up. Schemes like this have cost taxpayers £500,000 over the past three years. I'm currently studying the detail of the council's answer and will post other snippets as they catch my eye.
