Member's Allowances

Members can claim an allowance to cover the expenses which are normally
associated with the basic duties of being a parish councillor. Travelling and
subsistence expenses are treated separately.

The level of allowance must be the same for all but the Chairman of the Council.

The allowance for the 2019/20 and 2020/21 financial year is £413 per year for Members and £649 for the Chairman.

An independent remuneration panel makes recommendations on the allowance for town and parish councils. Click Report of the Wealden Parish Independent Remuneration Panel on Town and Parish Councillor Allowances for 2020/2021 for the public notice regarding the setting of the town councillors' allowance.

The following parish councillors claim an allowance:
