Tories say the rise should be turned down
A row has broken out over a proposed four per cent increase in councillors’ allowances – with Blackpool’s Tories saying the rise should be turned down.
Labour councillors and the Independent group had voted in favour of the increase following an independent review of allowances. The report by the Independent Remuneration Committee had recommended the 4.04 per cent rise be applied to the basic allowance of £10,663 per year which all councillors receive, as well as to some special responsibility allowances.
