Councillors are not paid a salary, but they do receive an allowance plus expenses to reimburse them for their time and costs they may incur in fulfilling their duties as a councillor. This could include telephone, IT and travel costs.
A special responsibility allowance is also available to councillors who carry out additional duties such as leading a political group, being a member of the cabinet or chairing a committee.
The amount paid in allowances is reviewed by an independent panel.
