Details of what the members are entitled to claim are laid out in Part 6 (Members Allowances Scheme) of the Adur District Council Constitution :
Members Allowances Assessment
Government Regulations require Members Allowances to be assessed by an Independent Remuneration Panel, made up from members of the public who are not councillors or staff of the authority, nor have any specific political affiliation. The Panel made their recommendations for 2009/10 members allowances to the council and councillors decided to accept the recommendations but not introduce the allowance increases in 2009/10.
Joint Independent Remuneration Panel
A joint panel of independent people who recommend to Adur and Worthing Councils the members' allowances specific to each council. The recommendations go to the Joint Governance and Audit Committee .
The panel's terms of reference are attached below:
