Members' allowances

This page contains information about members' (district councillors) allowances, including our approved allowances scheme and details of payments made to elected members.


Members' Allowances Scheme

The Members' Allowances Scheme sets out the arrangements for the payment of allowances.

The current scheme applies to the payment of members' allowances from 1 April 2026 and the following years (subject to any revocation or amendment).


List of allowances and expenses claimed by members (councillors)

We publish a list of the allowances and expenses claimed by our members each year.
