PAY AWARD AND REVIEW OF ALLOWANCES

Decision Maker: Finance and Resources Committee

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Decisions:

The Committee considered the recommendation of the Independent Remuneration Panel regarding the pay award for members.

 

During the debate it was noted that this was a difficult decision to make because being a Councillor was considered to be an opportunity that should be available to everyone, though it was agreed that the freeze was the appropriate cause of action given the public sector pay freeze for staff earning more that £24,000.

 

RECOMMENDED to full Council that members’ allowances be frozen in line with the employees’ pay award.
