Councillors' allowances and expenses

Each year we receive recommendations from an Independent Remuneration Panel about the allowances and expenses paid to councillors.

The current scheme of allowances has been updated as detailed below:

We believe in openess and transparency. Each year we publish the amount paid to councillors and independent members in allowances and the amounts claimed in expenses.

Any queries concerning this matter should be made to Karen Widdowson, Head of Democracy:
