In terms of the hours you put in over the course of a month you actually get less than the minimum wage as a councillor. That's not a complaint but I certainly couldn't live off the money I get from council work and the time I spend on projects is definitely not reflected in my salary.
All councillors get a basic wage of just under £4,500 per year plus mileage for any council business at 60p per mile. If you're fortunate enough to be granted the chairmanship of a committee then you get an extra £1,500 per year but Britcliffe has swallowed most of those up himself.
In years gone by you used to get nothing at all.
