A group of former Liverpool Labour members will oppose a recommended pay rise for city councillors.
On Wednesday, Liverpool Council is expected to approve a 1.75% pay uplift for its 90 members, increasing their annual allowance to £10,775 per year - a rise of £185. The change in allowances is inline with the agreed National Joint Council (NJC) employee pay award.
The total cost of payment to councillors to the annual budget is almost £1.4m. The plans were recommended for approval by the local authority’s constitutional issues committee earlier this month.
