Withholding of allowances
All allowances will be withheld where a Member:
- ceases to be a Member of the Authority;
- is otherwise unable (except for cases of illness as notified to the Authority) to discharge the duties of a Councillor; and the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Director of Finance, IT and Digital is of the opinion that the withholding of an allowance is reasonable;
- In the event of withholding of an allowance, the Chief Executive shall report to the next available ordinary meeting of Council his/her decision and the reasons for that determination. The Member affected by such a decision may request a review before the Council’s Audit and Governance Committee or a Sub-Committee of that Committee, with 14 days of that determination.
