Councillors' allowances

Information about remuneration for members

The members' scheme of allowances is part of the Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council’s constitution. This includes information about all allowances available to councillors. You can view this below:

Councillor allowances and expenses

Councillors are entitled to a range of allowances for carrying out their council duties. We keep a public register of allowances and expense claims for all councillors. This year's register, as well as registers from past years, can be found in the documents section below.

What allowances are given?

We appoint an independent panel to advise on the allowances which are paid to Councillors. Full council (all councillors) sets the levels of allowances, taking into consideration the recommendations of the panel.

A Table of Allowances paid to councillors for 2024/2025 can be found in the Members Allowances Scheme (above).
