Councillors in Bury are set to see their allowances rise by more than 20 percent. If agreed by the council later this week, recommendations put forward by an independent remuneration panel will see each of the 51 councillors receive a basic allowance of £10,791 per year, up from £8,947 in 2021/22.
Councillors with special responsibilities will also see their allowances rise if the measures are voted through by the council at the annual general meeting on Wednesday, May 25. Leader of the council, labour’s Eamonn O’Brien will see his special responsibility additional allowance jump from £25,503 per year to £32,733.
The deputy leader of the council’s allowance will rise to £19,424 from £15,307 while the Conservative opposition leader Russell Bernstein will see his additional allowance increase to £10,683 from the previous figure of £8,418.
