Salford City Council’s elected officials are in hot water after a damning report reveals twelve councillors missed half their meetings and twenty-three attended just two-thirds over the past year and a half. Labour’s John Walsh and Barry Warner, and Tory Jan Barrington, rank among the worst—with cabinet member Hannah Robinson-Smith (earning over $30K annually) attending only 28%. Reform leader Ivan Voronov blasts both parties for treating council work like a side gig, while Conservatives argue they spend most time in wards helping constituents. Labour adds that high-level roles and personal commitments make attendance tricky. This isn’t new—Lib Dems flagged it last year, and the council briefly hid the data before restoring it, still leaving attendance numbers looking shaky.
