content: I am a local authority councillor for Perth and Kinross Council (of 2 High Street, Perth). I work 40 hours per week and receive remuneration of between £20,001 and £25,000 per annum. This includes £7,000 per annum for my role as convener of the Scrutiny Committee. It is my intention that from 1 July 2016 I will no longer take any monies from the Council by way of salary and will begin working part time at that stage. I still intend to take expenses relating to council duties including to cover: telecommunications and some travel.
