Katex - the members allowances for councillors are increased in April each year - subject to it being voted on by the Full Council. For the current year 2008-2009 the basic allowance (which all councillors are entitled to claim) is £4388 and then there are various special allowances in addition to this - the Leader of the Council is entitled to claim £20448, the 2 deputy leaders £10224 and the other 3 cabinet members £7679.
There are also several other special allowances -Chair of Area Council £724, Chair of Judical £1448 and chair of Licensing £1448 that Peter Britcliffe is claiming in the current year 2008-2009.

Council Constitution

I am claiming £4388 +a special allowance of £724 because I am Secretary of the Labour Group.

The figures I have quoted for the years 2003-2004, 2004-2005, 2005-2006, 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 are correct. (Basis + special allowances)
2003-2004 £3102.75 + £11765.02 =£14867.77
2004-2005 £3134.74 + £12644.62 =£15779.36
2005-2006 £3726.46 + £14549.46 =£18275.92
2006-2007 £4154.10 + £16616.04 =£20770.14
2007-2008 £4257.97 + £26119.98 =£26119.98

I have not included in these figures any claims for childcare, mileage or subsistence - the figures are purely for allowances claimed as a member of Hyndburn Council.
