A few points:

  • Top payment of ?14413 was to the leader of the council, Terry Cutmore (goes up to over ?25,000 this year)
  • The highest figure to a Lib Dem was ?6823 to June Lumley (Chair of the Review Committee)
  • The ‘bog standard’ figure of a basic allowance without claiming any other expenses was ?4135, paid to Chris Lumley.
  • Most of the low figures were paid to people who weren’t councillors for the whole financial year, except for Tony Humphries, who only claimed ?1034. Clearly not a man who’s a councillor for the money!
