* This Councillor has declined the 1.9% increase payable from 1 April 2008

** Because a member can only receive one SRA, these are currently unused. The total of unused SRAs is £24,761, so that actual expenditure on SRAs is:

196,239

NOTES:

(1) The Council has determined that the Leader has responsibility for the Finance portfolio, so no separate allowance appears in the budget.

(2) This councillor customarily also chairs the Licensing Act 2003 Committee.
