Eric Pickles' ever-expanding and taxpayer-funded luxury limo bill has passed the half a million pound mark in just three years.
The Communities Secretary spent £247,775 in 2012, £185,935 in 2013 and £103,091 in the first six months of 2014 alone.
That's a grand total of £536,801 despite telling councils they need to save money on travel costs.
He said in 2012: "Councils must keep doing their bit to tackle the inherited budget deficit because they account for a quarter of all public spending and still get through over £114 billion of taxpayers money each year.
"Councils that put their thinking caps on now can save precious taxpayer pennies next year by cutting out waste and transforming frontline services that vulnerable people rely on."
