The Sun: Council's pole tax

COUNCILLORS were slammed yesterday for spending taxpayers' cash on a "fact-finding" trip to a pole-dancing club.

The 13 officials including two women went to Temptations T2 in Plymouth, Devon, to help them make "informed decisions" regarding new licensing laws.

They refused to reveal the cost but said the visit was "extremely worthwhile".

The TaxPayers' Alliance said: "It makes a mockery of the system."
