East Kent Joint Parish Independent Remuneration Panel

Recommendations for Town and Parish Councillors' Allowance Scheme

The East Kent Joint Parish Independent Remuneration Panel is required to make recommendations for an allowance scheme for Parish and Town Councillors. The recommendations of the Panel, which are made every four years, are not binding on the Parish and Town Councils and any allowance scheme must be adopted by vote of the individual Parish or Town Council.

The Panel is required to produce a report containing recommendations for an allowance scheme as follows:

• To recommend the amount of Parish Basic Allowance payable to councillors
• To recommend the amount of Chairman's Parish Basic Allowance payable to the Chairman of the Council
• To recommend the amount for travel and subsistence allowance payable to the Chairman of the Council or to all of its members and
• To determine whether to recommend the same levels of parish basic allowance and parish travel and susbsistence allowance to all the authorities in respect of which it was established

The Panel produced its first Quadrennial Review report for the Parish and Town Councils of East Kent in October 2009.
