Thirty five minutes they were in that meeting, I wonder how much they claimed for??

You can't claim for attending Council meetings. those days are long gone. Councillors get an annual allowance that covers all their ward work and Council committee work. They may get an extra allowance for attending site inspections whilst on the planning committee. We get £30.00 for this.


What is the annual allowance?

That should be published on their website.

Bolsover could be in breach of the eu directive
When it comes to the fee for a licence, Art. 13.2 of the Directive, which reg. 18(4) of the 2009 Regulations implemented domestically, was quite specific. Whatever domestic law had permitted in the past, there had in the future to be, not only a proportionate relationship between the fee which was charged and the cost of the “authorisation procedures”, but the fee could not exceed the costs of those procedures. Those procedures are the steps which an applicant for a licence has to take if he wishes to be granted a licence or to have his licence renewed. And when you talk about the cost of those procedures, you are talking about the administrative costs involved, and the costs of vetting the applicants (in the case of applications for a licence) and the costs of investigating their compliance with the terms of their licence (in the case of applications for the renewal of a licence). There is simply no room for the costs of the “authorisation procedures” to include costs which are significantly in excess of those costs. The rationale for that has to have been that if it was otherwise, and if in consequence the fee was a sizeable sum, it might have the effect of dissuading people who might be thinking of setting up business from going into the market at all: the anticipated profit margin might just be too tight. Indeed, if the purpose of the Directive was to remove barriers to entry to the internal market, that purpose might be undermined if the Directive was regarded as permitting member states to allow the fee payable for entry into the market to be many times the cost of considering and processing applications for the relevant licence.

Councillors receive a basic allowance for the time and expenses they incur while they are serving the community. Some Councillors may receive additional allowance according to their level of responsibility such as Group Leaders and Chair's of a Committee.

Chandler got £10,625.10
Rhodes got £17,395
Basic allowance is supposed to be £4617 ? Why is Rhodes paid over £13k more?

He is the leader of the Council.
Chandler is the chair of a couple of committees.

i honestly can not understand why different areas have different prices, to me they should be the same across the country, how can someone pay 300 quid for a plate then 50 miles away its 200 quid, there cars half as safe ?? its the exact same M.O.T. same with badges etc
