Councillor Allowances
The Local Authorities (Members’ Allowances) Regulations 2003 state that a Parish Council may pay a basic allowance to each of its elected members only, not co-opted members. The allowance is not a salary – it is to cover the general expenses of being a local councillor. Specific travelling and subsistence expenses are covered separately, and can be claimed when appropriate.
At its meeting on 27th September 2022, Hordle Parish Council had regard to the report of NFDC’s Independent Remuneration Panel and voted to retain the current rate of 7.5% of District Councillors’ allowances due to the size of the parish and to allow a broader spectrum of residents to become Parish Councillors.
In 2024-25 the Members’ allowance is £43.61 per month and the Chair’s allowance is £91.38 per month.
