All Parish/Town Councils were consulted for their current Scheme of Allowances, and the Panel considered the responses which were attached to the agenda at Appendix A.

The Panel requested the following additional information to enable it to makes its final recommendations: 1. Number of Councillors per parish/town council 2. Latest population figures 3. the number of residents per councillor 4. Recommendations of other Parish Remuneration Panels It was agreed to adjourn this meeting until the 7October when the Panel would be able to meet again to consider this new information.
