Yes - Borough Councillors have unanimously voted for a 2% increase plus £1,000 in basic expenses - and we sneakily waited till after the local elections to do it.
For the record - that means the basic allowance for being a Borough Councillor is now £4,568 a year. And I get an additional £2,668 a year for being 'Executive Member for Improvement'.
That's a total of £7,236 a year - not quite enough for me to employ a nanny to fit me a new kitchen.

I don't do it for the money you know!
Given the kerfuffle about MPs expenses - I thought I'd post details of the councillor's allowances and expenses I've received this year (Apr '07 - Mar '08):
Basic Allowance £3,498 and 'Special Responsibility Allowance' £2,258.62 (that's for being 'Executive Member for Improvement') - both of which are taxable, plus £302.30 in expenses (mainly bus fares) paid only when used tickets etc were submitted.
