    Response

    Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding, we have installed a new Freedom of Information system and have experienced a few problems.

    Attached is our report from our Independent Remuneration Panel. This panel is made up external panel members who may recommendation about the rates of pay to Councillors but also claims for childcare and dependent care costs. Information about this is contained in this report.
    This document is publically available and was part of the agenda report packs for Cabinet meeting held on 4th December 2018 and Full Council held on 19th December 2018.
    The recommendations were agreed by Full Council on 19th December 2018.
