A new cap has had to be introduced after some Nottinghamshire councillors spent hundreds using their work phone on holiday
Nottinghamshire county councillors spent over £1,000 last year using their work phones abroad and one of them says he will not apologise for "working so hard." The Conservative-led authority says many elected members are willing to continue council business whilst they are holidaying abroad.
Councillor Purdue-Horan said: "The first I knew of this bill was when it was it was published in the papers of the governance and ethics committee. The phone is key to my work representing residents and I will never apologise for working so hard. A new county council report on the matter says: "At previous meetings, the committee has recognised the ongoing issue of out of contract charges for ICT equipment. This mainly related to members' willingness to continue to conduct council business whilst holidaying abroad.
