To receive a report regarding the Localism Act Pay Policy Statement for 2018/19.

RECOMMENDATION:  That Council approve the attached Policy Pay Statement for 2018 for publication on the Council’s website in accordance with the Localism Act 2011.

The Council considered a report regarding the Localism Act Pay Policy Statement for 2018/19. 

It was proposed by Stuart Munro and seconded by Julian McGhee-Sumner that the recommendation be agreed.

Stuart Munro indicated that the Council was required annually to produce a Pay Policy Statement.  The Personnel Board had reviewed the Policy and had noted that whilst there had been a slight increase to Senior Management pay the gap was narrowing due to the higher increases at the bottom end of the pay-scales as a result of National Minimum Wage increases.

Julian McGhee Sumner commented that the Directors’ pay had not been included in the document but that this information was available.

Upon being put to the vote it was:

RESOLVED:  That the Policy Pay Statement for 2018 be approved for publication on the Council’s website in accordance with the Localism Act 2011.
