Councillor allowances

Councillors are not paid a salary, but they do receive an allowance plus expenses to reimburse them for their time and costs they may incur in fulfilling their duties as a councillor. This could include telephone, IT and travel costs.

A special responsibility allowance is also available to councillors who carry out additional duties such as leading a political group, being a member of the cabinet or chairing a committee.

The amount paid in allowances is reviewed by an independent panel.

You can view the amount paid to individual councillors below. For records dating back further, please email us at enquiries@tamworth.gov.uk.
