Warminster Town Councillors will not adopt an allowance scheme as they “remain absolutely committed to serving the town and seek no remuneration for doing so.”
The Report of the Independent Remuneration Panel of Wiltshire Council suggested that if so minded, Warminster Town Council could introduce a basic allowance for all councillors of £1,320 per annum (pa).
However, members resolved to unanimously reject the scheme following discussions at a Full Council meeting on Monday 21st July.
