flag North Yorkshire councillors may get a 3.6% pay rise to £17,964 annually, pending council votes.

flag An independent panel has recommended a 3.6% rise in North Yorkshire councillors’ allowances for 2026/27, increasing the basic annual allowance to £17,964, with higher rates for leadership roles, citing inflation, rising workloads, and funding pressures. flag The total cost would reach £1.61 million. flag The panel emphasized that elected roles differ from salaried positions, rejecting comparisons to staff pay. flag The proposals will be reviewed by the council’s executive on October 21 and by the full council on November 12, with members able to opt for full or partial allowances.
