Agenda item

The following notice of motion had been received from Councillor R I Jackson:

This Council notes the creation of two additional committees and further notes that at current rates this will cost the taxpayers of Broxtowe approximately £48,000 over the four-year life of this administration.

 

This Council resolves to adjust all special responsibility allowances to ensure that costs are met from the existing budget for members’ allowances so that £48,000 is spent on council services rather than being spent on members’ allowances.
