Swindon Borough Council is looking for someone to serve on an independent panel to decide pay for councillors
SWINDON Borough Council has launched a search for someone to help decide how much its elected members should be paid.
The new appointment will serve on an independent five-strong panel which recommends the allowances for Swindon's councillors.
The basic allowance for a councillor is currently £7,710, so today we ask our readers if that represents value for money?
