EAST CAMBRIDGESHIRE DISTRICT COUNCIL

Recruitment to Independent Remuneration Panel on Members’ Allowances

Help us decide on your Councillors’ Allowances

Volunteers are needed to join an independent Panel looking at how we can ensure that:

  • District Councillors are fairly remunerated for serving their local community, whilst recognising that there is an element of voluntary service;
  • Local people are not prevented from standing for election to the District Council for financial reasons.

If you feel you would be trusted by the public to take on this important task, then we would like to hear from you.

The Panel must be truly independent, so we are looking for people with no personal connection to the Council or any of its Councillors.  Members of the Panel will receive an allowance of ₤550 to cover their time and expenses.

Applications should be returned by Monday 22 August 2016.
