In 2008 - 2009 we both received a one off payment of £500 (made in June / July 2008) when we agreed to use our own computers, printers and consumables for the duration of our 4 year term of office. This means that the Council does not incur any ongoing IT costs - such as provision of software, hardware, printers, consumables or IT support during our term of office.
Formerly, the Council made a payment of £25 to Councillors for attending authorised training events and workshops. We both received a payment of £300 (made in May 2009) for events we attending in 2008 - 2009 municipal year. These payments ceased at the end of 2008 - 2009.
