Agenda and minutes

(Members are reminded of their duty to declare personal and personal prejudicial interests in matters coming before this meeting as set out in the Local Code of Conduct)

Councillor Stokes stated that he had requested on a number of occasions that the Committee consider a Central Government proposal that individuals in the authority earning over a £100,000 consider taking a voluntary reduction in their salary.  

In the ensuing discussion a number of proposals were discussed, following which it was agreed that Officers would identify the context within which the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government stated that individuals in posts earning over a £100,000 consider taking a reduction of 5% in their salary. This information would be circulated to Members of the Committee and, if appropriate, the Committee would send a letter to the individuals concerned.
