The Northern Ireland council residency of the monarchy spent almost as much chauffeuring its mayor last year as it did celebrating the coronation of King Charles III.

Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council (LCCC) ratepayers paid around £40,000 for their first citizen to be driven to and from on average 550 mayoral events in year 2022 to 2023.

The Local Democracy Service asked if the council had reviewed its chauffeur policy.
