It's a £2m pa bill that the council is being saddled with for following government instructions. The least they can do is to cover it.

I've said a few times on this forum, I never had anything against freedom of movement - just the poor way it was implemented allowing beggars to remain. So, some sort of free movement wouldn't hurt on the right terms. I'd want it to address skills shortage, though. Wages will need to be attractive and that means taxes should not be prohibitively high.

Btw, I'm firmly in the "none of the above" camp.
