Members of Hertsmere Council will discuss a possible rise in allowances for chairman of two of its committees next week.
Council officers have recommended the chairman of the authority’s planning committee and overview and performance committee get about a 30 per cent rise in their allowances.
If passed, the planning committee chairman would receive £4,976 per annum, and the overview and performance committee chairman would receive £6,634.
The proposals are due to be discussed at a full council meeting at the authority’s civic offices in Borehamwood on January 18.
