This is a link to the members allowance scheme - which includes expenses.
Council Constitution
As far as I am aware, you do need to produce receipts for expenses claimed. With the exception of mileage - where you claim for an approved duty -however if you attend a training course you do need confirmation from the person who authorised attendance at the training course. There is a form to fill in mileage claims which you detail the journey and the miles driven and details of the car you used. I attended a course at Wyre Borough Council yesterday, but I will not be claiming any expenses for attending.
Also if you go to a conference, which entails an overnight stay you get a taxable allowance of £58.41 per day (which is taxable) to cover exoenses incurred.
