Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk which provided information regarding the use of the Members’ Financial Loss Allowance Scheme during 2015/16.

The Chairman commented that the Scheme not being used in the previous year may indicate that the Scheme needed to be reviewed to ensure that it was appropriate. The Chairman also commented that, if the Scheme was not appropriate, it may exclude otherwise interested candidates from standing for election to the Court. The Chairman of the Policy and Resources Committee agreed that it may be appropriate for that Committee to review the Scheme following the 2017 Common Council elections.

RESOLVED – That the Committee:

a)    notes the report;

b)    requests that the Policy and Resources Committee review the Members’ Financial Loss Allowance Scheme following the 2017 Common Council elections.
