Considered - Report of the Democratic Services & Governance Manager.

 

Members considered emails relating to recommendations made by the Parish Remuneration Panel in 2004.

 

Following a query from a member of the public, the Panel defined what they consider as included in the allowances which was everything incurred incidental to the role other than travel or subsistence. This would include printing as an example and noted that if members had difficultly in printing a particular document, they should contact their parish or town clerk for assistance. Only travel and subsistence could be claimed as an expense.
