What Hastings Borough Council paid each councillor, year by year,
from the pages it publishes under the Transparency Code. Figures are shown as the
council printed them.
The council's pages call the basic allowance every councillor
gets “Salary”. A special responsibility allowance is paid for a post such as
leader, a cabinet portfolio or chairing a committee; the mayoral allowances go
to the mayor and deputy mayor. Travel and childcare are expenses claimed. A
councillor who served part of a year was paid for part of it. Read on

index of these pages.
