Councillors' Allowances

The Council is required by law to make a Scheme of Allowances for Councillors and to decide the amounts to be paid to them under the Scheme. A copy of the current Scheme is contained in the Council's Constitution.

The Members' Allowances Regulations require local authorities to establish and maintain an Independent Remuneration Panel [IRP]. The purpose of the Panel is to make recommendations to the authority about allowances to be paid to the Elected Members (Councillors), and local authorities must have regard to this advice.

The IRP for Bromsgrove District Council is set up on a joint basis with the other five district councils in Worcestershire, the decision having been taken during 2010 to follow the principle established by having a joint Panel in the south of the County.

The Independent Remuneration Panel for Worcestershire District Councils currently comprises the following independent members:-

  • Mr. Rob Key (Chairman) 
  • Mrs. Elaine Bell  JP  DipCrim
  • Mr. Bill Simpson 
  • Reverend Prebendary Michael Vockins  O.B.E. 
  • Mr. Mel Nock  O.B.E.  BA Joint Hons  Dip IPD

These independent members were appointed following advertisement and interview.

Reports of the Independent Remuneration Panel

The Independent Remuneration Panel was Bromsgrove District Council's own independent panel to make recommendations about allowances paid to Elected Members. The Independent Remuneration Panel for Worcestershire District Councils has taken on the work of the previous panel for all of the districts within Worcestershire.
