Counting the cost of your councillors
And thousands more pounds of public money was paid to send councillors to oversee the failed North Down and Ards council merger.
Those in senior positions such as chairs of committees also get a ‘special responsibility’ allowance. This totalled £30,750.
Nineteen councillors claimed for travel and subsistence costs which includes accommodation and food expenses.
Eighteen councillors were paid ‘other expenses’ which include costs for attending courses and conferences.
The figures were published at North Down Borough Council’s July meeting on Tuesday night (27th).
Highest claimer was last year’s mayor Tony Hill who picked up £16,327 mainly due to his position as the Borough’s first citizen.
