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.

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.
