All Members are entitled to receive a Basic Allowance for their role as an elected Councillor. A number of Councillors also receive a Special Responsibility Allowance for their additional duties that they may serve e.g. Cabinet member or Chairperson of Planning Committee.

Members are able to claim travel and subsistence expenses whilst undertaking an authorised approved duty.

All of the above are stated in the Members Allowance Scheme.
