Counts in the £100,000 figure are our sum of the council's bands. - Comparisons are with the other unitary councils in England read so far; no national figure is published for England. - The members' allowances scheme document linked in search results (gfd-c-members-allowances-scheme-v7.doc) returned 404 at the time of checking; a search snippet quotes a Basic Allowance of £15,979.08 indexed from 12 May 2025, not used because the council document could not be read.
