To consider the recommendations of the
Independent Remuneration Panel regarding Member
allowances.
The report of the Independent Remuneration Panel (IRP) and Parish Remuneration Panel (PRP) set out recommendations for the Members’ Allowances Schemes for Reigate and Banstead Borough Council; and, Horley Town Council and Salfords and Sidlow Parish Council respectively.
The Leader of the Council, Councillor Brunt, moved an amendment to recommendations 1 and 3 of the IRP’s report, which sought to lower the increase to the basic allowance proposed by the IRP to 2.99%, in line with Council Tax increase adopted for 2023/24, and to freeze the Leader’s special responsibility allowance with no increase from the 2022/23 rate.
RESOLVED to adopt the amended recommendations within the officer’s report.
