Councillors' Allowances

The City Council operates a Members' Allowances Scheme and each Councillor receives a Basic Allowance. The Scheme also includes Special Responsibility Allowances paid for particular duties.  Travel, subsistence, dependent carers' and co-optees' allowances are paid for undertaking “approved duties” specified in the Scheme.  Expenses are only reimbursed where incurred on “approved duties” and relate to travel, subsistence and dependent carers’ costs.

 

Details of the latest Members' Allowances Scheme is available in Part 6 of the Council's Constitution.

 

As part of the Council's commitment to demonstrating that it is as open and transparent as possible when it comes to the use of public money, the Council has moved (from July, 2009) to a system in which Councillors' allowances are published on a monthly basis.

 

Please use the downloadable documents below for details of the amounts of allowances paid to Councillors during the current financial year, and in previous years.

 

The Code of Conduct requires each Member to declare certain interests and details are available of the Register of Members' Interests.
