Councillors’ Allowances0

We reveal for the first time the massive difference in basic allowances paid to councillors in local authorities around the UK. As part of this campaign, we have also launched a new online tool which allows people to search our comprehensive database to see for themselves how much money their local politicians are each given per year in basic allowances.
