Councillors' Allowances
The Council is required by law to make a Scheme of Allowances
for Councillors and to decide the amounts to be paid to them under
the Scheme. A copy of the current Scheme is contained in the
Council's Constitution.
The Council is also required to establish and maintain an
Independent Remuneration Panel which will broadly have the function
of providing the Council with advice on its Scheme, the amounts to
be paid and the pensionability of allowances, where relevant.
The Council must have regard to the Panel's advice when
taking decisions in relation to the nature and level of allowances
payable to Councillors.
The Independent Remuneration Panel is Chaired by Professor Michael
