Asked why the council was seeking another communications officer, the Council's communications manager said it was to replace a member of staff who had left.
Asked how much it had cost to place the advert in The Guardian, the comms manager refused to answer and said: "You will have to FOI for that".
In November, Rochdale Online revealed that Council spin doctors have cost well over a millon pound in past three years:
