Subject: Apparant Abuse of Senior Concillor Remuneration

To: Barry Tudhope - Democratic Services Manager

Dear Barry

Cllr Jim McLean has informed me that you have advised him regarding the current Planning Applications/LRB Committee Chair chairing only 9 out of 34 meetings since appointment in May 2022 and apparently taking remuneration for meetings they have not chaired.

Would appreciate if you would give details of your involvement in the matter of this apparent abuse of the Senior Councillor Remuneration whereby the current Planning Applications/LRB Committee Chair has only chaired 9 out of 34 meetings since appointment in May 2022 and apparently taking remuneration for meetings they have not chaired

Not Chaired 7 out of 12 meetings in 2022
Not Chaired 8 out of 11 meetings in 2023
Not Chaired 10 out of 11 meetings in 2024

The Senior Councillor has taken roughly £13,689, for Chairing 9 out of 34 meetings since May 2022(period of 31 months).

(Senior Councillors takes roughly £5,300 pa in addition to Basic Salary)

This is roughly £1521 for each meeting chaired.

and give details of your contact with Cllr Jim McLean and Council Leader Cllr Owen O'Donnell.

Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks
