What each of Northampton's councillors costs the county council - in travel, subsistence and allowances

The councillors at One Angel Square are paid varying amounts from the public purse, depending on their special responsibilities and expenses.

Cabinet members tend to be paid the most, because of the extra responsibility and workload, and chairs of certain committees and party leaders will be paid more for that work. Ranked below from lowest to highest in pounds (GBP) are the latest payment figures for Northampton ward councillors from April 2017 to March 2018. Note: Anjona Roy (Lab, St George) is now a councillor but wasn't at the time, having won a by-election last year. Sally Beardsworth (Lib Dem, Kingsthorpe South) was on the list but is no longer a county councillor. She would have had the lowest payment figures of £1,149)
