Cut the Councillors Basic Allowance by 15%

In 2005/6 the Councillors Basic Allowance was £6,539, this tax year 2009, they are claiming £7,688 a rise of 15%!

SAMRA believes that the Basic Allowance should be cut to the 2005/6 level a reduction of 15% or £1,153, a saving of £58,803 of your money. If this cut was made it would mean less cuts to services, and would give better value for money to us the Council Tax payer, as well as being less money needed from Council reserves. All SAMRA Councillors will only accept 15% less than the current Basic Allowance each year – Saving us all money!

To support SAMRAs campaign to cut the Councillors allowance please sign the petition below:

To: Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council
We the undersigned call for Solihull Councillors Basic Pay Allowance to be cut by 15% or £1,153 for the current tax year.

Sincerely,

 

Cut the Councillors Basic Allowance Petition
