The Independent Remuneration Panel makes recommendations to the Council about the level of allowances, to which the Council “has regard”.    The Panel’s report and recommendations for allowances for 2013-14 is enclosed. 

 

Minutes:

Members considered a report of the Joint Independent Remuneration Panel for Worcestershire District Councils setting out its recommendations to Bromsgrove District Council arising from its review of Members’ Allowances for 2013/2014.

 

In responding to the Panel’s report Councillor R. Hollingworth stated that having considered the report he felt the Panel did not have a sufficient understanding of the work which was undertaken by Members and he did not feel he could support the recommendations of the Panel.  

 

He had discussed the position with Councillor P. M. McDonald as leader of the largest opposition group.

 

It was proposed by Councillor R. Hollingworth and seconded by Councillor P. M. McDonald and

 

RESOLVED  that the existing structure in respect of Members’ Allowances (including the current Bromsgrove multipliers relating to Special Responsibility Allowances) be maintained and that the Allowances be increased by 3% for 2013/2014.
