Under government legislation, elected members are entitled to receive a remuneration package. The package consists of salary, subsistence, reimbursement of hotel accommodation and travel expenses. A ceiling applies to the rates for non-salary expenditure and are payable only on production of valid receipts.
The information below relates to total costs (with link to breakdown of figure) for the period 1 April to 31 March in the following years and includes salary rates, additional expenditure and Information Technology costs.
We are also required to provide adequate training for elected members to assist them in carrying out their role. Summaries of training, development and conferences costs are also included.
