Liverpool councillors have rejected a 5% pay rise as the council prepares to welcome a new leadership model.
An independent panel had recommended elected members of Liverpool Council be given an uplift in their allowances, from £10,590 to £11,119. This had been suggested in line with a raise given to local authority officers.
As with last year, when councillors rejected an increase of 1.75%, the proposed pay rise was rejected. However, city representatives have sought further information on the future of parking permits and if they should be included within members’ allowances.
