Voters will head to polling stations across Britain today to vote for councillors. But did you know the ways councillors are paid differ in England, Scotland and Wales?
Elected representatives in the three countries are all entitled to money for the work they do as a councillor. The way this works is different in England, Scotland and Wales, and within England councillors get different amounts depending on the authority they are elected to.
In England, councillors get an annual "allowance". In Wales councillors are paid "remuneration", while Scotland pays salaries to councillors.
