Councillors in Knowsley will not receive a pay rise in the coming year.
An independent panel has determined there is no need to raise members allowances for the next 12 months and has recommended basic allowances remain at the current level of £10,107.55. A report to go before a meeting of whole member Knowsley Council next week has detailed the way members will be paid in 2022/23.
It said the council’s 2022/23 budget provides for the cost of Members’ Allowances which would be payable under the current decision-making structure. Any cost increases arising from changes to that structure would require additional funding.
