7 June - Councillors and their Allowances
In what has been a very quiet week for Council news time has been found to update and refine the code that produces
the list of Councillors and their jobs
and what they get paid for doing them. All available from the Menu above by
choosing Politics and Councillor details.
The information is extracted from Council sources but the BiB page brings it
together in an easily assimilated form.
Unlike in earlier years I can find no information on whether or not multiple
Allowances are paid. It used to be the case that beyond the Basic Allowance,
currently £10,398 per annum, only the highest of the Special Allowances is paid
if more than one ‘special’ job is held. Probably an omission or my failure to
find the information rather than a craftily introduced pay rise.
The header in an oblique font just above the Column Headers has become
redundant but its removal is very complex as it has been used in some of the
much older Councillor lists. Rejigging old lists would be a horrendously
laborious job so it must stay for now.
Do I now have to reintroduce the married couples linkages prevalent 15 years
ago? Six pairs back then!
