The Democratic and Corporate Services Manager presented the report on the Members’ Allowances Scheme 2022/23.

 

Members were advised that the East Kent Joint Independent Remuneration Panel (EKJIRP) had met earlier that day and had advised that it would support an increase in allowances, including those related to travel and subsistence, up to the levels recommended in its last full Review.

 

Members were advised that the proposed Members’ Allowances Scheme set out in Appendix 1 of the report represented no increase in the Basic or Special Responsibility Allowances.

 

It was moved by Councillor P D Jull, duly seconded by Councillor N J Collor, and

 

RESOLVED:   That the Members’ Allowances Scheme for 2022-23 be made at the levels set out in Appendix 1 of the report subject to an increase in the car mileage allowance from 40 pence per mile to 45 pence per mile.
