      Discretionary allowance

      Requested Mon 29 January 2024
      Responded Wed 07 February 2024

      I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information from your Council please.

      1. Do your councillors get a discretionary allowance to spend on training individually as they choose?

      2. How much is this amount annually?

      3. How many councillors are on your council?

      4. How many have used their discretionary allowance?

      5. How much have they spent and on what service, training, activity or otherwise?


      Response

      The Freedom of Information Act is based on recorded information held by a local authority, it is not a tool to ask questions.

      Your request is asking questions therefore fall outside the remit of the Act.

      However, to be helpful, Hastings Borough Council has 32 Councillors, none of which receive an allowance to spend on training.
