To submit the Independent Remuneration Panel’s recommendations for allowances for 2019-2023 (Report of the Independent Remuneration Panel enclosed).

The Council considered the report of the Independent Remuneration Panel setting out its recommendations for allowances for 2019-2023.

Members considered the recommendations put before them and decided that it was not appropriate to take an increase in their remuneration in the current financial climate.

DECISION:

1)    That the Council freezes allowances at their current rates.

2)    That the Council continues to review changes to roles and responsibilities undertaken by Councillors.  Should there be significant changes, the Council will request the Independent Remuneration Panel to consider the impact of any such changes on Councillor Allowances.
