A pay rise for Liverpool councillors has been recommended for approval.
Members of the local authority will sign off on giving themselves a 1.75% pay uplift after its constitutional issues committee agreed to pass on the suggestions made in a report to members. The proposed uplift will be backdated to May 2021 and will increase councillors’ pay packets to £10,775 per year - a rise of £185.
The change in allowances is inline with the agreed National Jount Council (NJC) employee pay award. The total cost of payment to councillors to the annual budget is almost £1.4m.
