Shocking paymentsAFTER reading online that Wiltshire Council have given over half a million pounds to 33 former staff members who left after being made redundant or left after a disagreement – this money was to gag them and not tell anyone what goes on at the council. I am totally shocked.
To think this money has been used in this way when there is no money for funding the ‘Connect’ bus. Are we in the future to expect large payouts for the police, clergy and doctors to ensure their confidentiality? I hope not.
