J Thomass 4,640
M J Webster 6,962
P F Webster 7,119
C A Weston 5,247
B Wilkins 6,364
Total 215,970

A few points:

Top payment of £14413 was to the leader of the council, Terry Cutmore (goes up to over £25,000 this year)

The highest figure to a Lib Dem was £6823 to June Lumley (Chair of the Review Committee)

The ‘bog standard’ figure of a basic allowance without claiming any other expenses was £4135, paid to Chris Lumley.

Most of the low figures were paid to people who weren’t councillors for the whole financial year, except for Tony Humphries, who only claimed £1034. Clearly not a man who’s a councillor for the money!

Good effort from Tony, shame though that he blotted his reputation with the fiction he put into his flyer for Central ward during the election campaign!
