Expenses
Each councillor receives a basic allowance, which is intended to cover most of the costs incurred in carrying out your duties as a councillor. Certain approved duties including attendance at meetings, are also eligible for travel and/or subsistence allowances. You can find more information about expenses and member's allowances.
The Leader and Deputy Leader of the council, cabinet members, committee chairmen, the Mayor and political group leaders are paid special responsibility allowances to reflect the special responsibilities.
