Warminster town councillors have agreed not to accept any payment for their work, saying they “remain absolutely committed to serving the town and seek no remuneration for doing so.”
Wiltshire Council’s Independent Remuneration Panel had suggested that councillors could be given a basic allowance of £1,320 a year. However, councillors decided to unanimously reject the scheme following discussions at a recent full council meeting.
Mayor of Warminster, Cllr Andrew Cooper said, “I am delighted that as a council we have unanimously rejected the introduction of allowances. I am incredibly proud to report to the people of Warminster that their councillors remain absolutely committed to serving the town and seek no remuneration for doing so.”
