Your Councillors
Members' Allowances
Councillors receive a basic allowance that is intended to recognise the calls on their time such as Council meetings, meetings with officers, constituents and official Council business. The allowance also covers their incidental costs such as the use of homes and private telephones.
Members' allowances are considered periodically by the Lancaster City Council Independent Remuneration Panel. The Panel consists of up to 7 independent people appointed by the Council. The recommendations of the Panel are then considered by full Council.
- The current agreed recommendations of the Independent Remuneration Panel can be viewed in the Members' Allowance Notice, in the right hand downloads menu.
- Details of the independent Remuneration Panel and how you can be a part of it can be found in the left hand menu.
In accordance with the law Lancaster City Council publishes annually the payments made to Councillors in respect of basic, special responsibility, childcare and dependent carers’ allowances, travelling and subsistence allowances and co-optees’ allowances.
- The payment of allowances to elected Members 2008/09 can be viewed in the Allowances Paid Notice, in the right hand downloads menu.
