Independent Remuneration Panel for Members' Allowances

We are legally required to run and maintain an independent remuneration panel in relation to councillor allowances.

The panel was appointed in Autumn 2011 and is currently undertaking a review of the allowance scheme. Their recommendations will be presented to council at their meeting in January 2012. The scheme in place at present was accepted by Full Council on 1 April 2008.

The panel members are:

  • Dr George Reah (Chair)
  • Dr Paul Phillips
  • Kelli Wade
  • Elizabeth Whitehouse
  • Philip Burton
  • David McFarlane

The Scheme for Members' Allowances is detailed in full in the council's constitution.
