A VACANCY has arisen on a panel which advises on the expenses payments to district and parish councillors.
Epping Forest District Council is appealing for a “conscientious” resident to join its Independent Remuneration Panel to help it recommend the level of allowance its politicians should get paid.
The job itself comes with an optional £500 yearly allowance.
A council spokesman said: “The role will involve approximately six evening meetings a year plus appropriate research work.
“Knowledge or experience of finance or local government would be helpful and political impartiality is essential.”
Current district and parish council members cannot apply.
The deadline for applications is Wednesday March 31, with the first meeting of the panel scheduled for April.
Call Ian Willett, assistant to the chief executive, on 01992 564243 or email IWILLETT@eppingforestdc.gov.uk for more information.
