CORRECTION: A story in The Northern Echo yesterday headlined Auditor Orders Authority to Examine Free Passes Policy was incorrect.
We would like to make it clear that Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council does not issue free parking permits and bus passes to councillors, as reported. Nor has it been ordered to review its policy on council members' expenses. We would like to apologise for the errors and any embarrassment they may have caused.
