The amendment was defeated. The original motion was debated as the substantive motion.
Resolved: (i) That the Independent Remuneration Panel be thanked for their work.
(ii) That no increases be made to the current Members Allowance Scheme
(iii) That, with effect from the start of the 2022/23 Municipal Year, the allowances paid to Members be linked to the annual Local Government pay award agreed by the NJC so that the Members Allowances increase in line with the annual percentage rate rise, if applicable that staff at Newcastle Borough Council receive.
