      <description><![CDATA[I often wonder when I see £1million plus of limos around Druid Street for a City Hall mayors' meeting whether a simple(?) option would be for a quick piece of legislation that says anyone in a public office can only have access to an average priced car - say at Mondeo level. Exceptions could be built in for those with security issues such as PM, Home Secretary etc but do wonder why mayors, senior emergency service personnel etc. feel it is ok to be ferried around in a Lexus or BMW - after all both London Mayors used the Tube and bikes.<br />
<br />
It could work like the current proposal on benefits cap and I am sure would be supported by the bishops!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[[quote pros]in september 2010, however, there was a single payment of over £10,000 to a limo company (that's what the google search came up with anyways) which provides limos for corporate events, weddings, hen nights etc.[/quote]<br />
<br />
It might be exactly that - Southwark does do weddings at Grade 2 Listed Kingswood House (and probably other places) and there's no differentiation in the 'spending data' between the Council's spending-as-spending and the Council's spending-as-trading-entity. Maybe they sold a late Summer wedding package and the Limos were part of that! <br />
<br />
I have come across instances of &quot;extravagant spending&quot; which turned out to have been councils turning a profit on letting other people use their premises and so on in the past.<br />
<br />
Only one way to find out...]]></description>
