Cash grant for children's centres (From Watford Observer)

• "77 councillors at £10,000 a year grant spending each.
  
  That's £770,000 per year spent on whatever a councillor thinks will make him or her look more electable.
  
  It doesn't seem like a good use of our taxes from where I'm standing, more a bribe with your own money. I'm not against grants, but giving a councillor £10,000 to spend on whatever they want doesn't seem very clever to me.
  
  Will any county council candidates stand at the elections in May on a ticket to remove these discretionary grants? Is there any party that will commit to it in Herts?"
