The Council appoints outside people to assist with the work of some of its committees. These people are not elected councillors. They are instead chosen by an interview panel to add outside expertise and an impartial perspective to committee business.
The Independent Member (Audit) and Independent Person (Standards) are paid special responsibility allowances in line with the Constitution and the Independent Remuneration Panel report of May 2024. They are also able to claim travel and subsistence expenses while on Council businesses.
Both the IM and IP have completed declarations in the register of interests and signed the Members’ Code of Conduct.
