This evenings full Council meeting (November 16th) at Southport Town Hall includes an agenda item about Members’ Allowance Scheme 2023/24 to 2026/27.

Recommendations by the Independent Remuneration Panel to increase Members’ allowances for 2023/24 be linked to the local government pay settlement.

This will be in effect 6.01% for 2023/2024.

Further annual adjustments continue to be made in line with the local government pay
settlement up to and including the 2026/27 municipal year.

An uplift of 6.01% will increase the Scheme of Members’ Allowances by £52,525.26 to a total of £963,117.85. The Mayoral Allowance will increase by £936 to £16,510.14.

Current allowances before any increase

No mention of Tory austerity when it comes to these parasites awarding themselves more then.

Absolutely outrageous!

Two local dignitaries used to brag that they only ever needed to buy breakfast cereal.

How many are labour councillors. In which case we can now
blame the Tory government.??????
