2. Consideration was given to the following Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor D Brickhill:
1. “At least 80% of all money raised by community levy payments by Developers must be spent in the same town or parish council area as the actual development.
2. The remaining 20%, if any, must be spent in the same district as the actual development, where ‘district’ means the appropriate area of one of the three previous district councils that made up Cheshire East.
3. The planning department shall consult the parish or town council on how the money should be spent and, if necessary, fully explain at a planning Committee meeting why the parish’s recommendations cannot be implemented.
4. The planning department shall provide to the parish or town council full accounts on how the money was spent.”
The Motion was seconded by Councillor A Moran.
RESOLVED
That the Motion stand referred to the Strategic Planning Board.
3. Consideration was given to the following Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor S Corcoran:
“This Council thanks the Leader for sharing his thoughts at the last council meeting on whether Councillor allowances should be increased to replace mileage rates. However, this council does not support the idea because:
1. It would disadvantage councillors in outlying areas.
2. It would disadvantage active Councillors who travel frequently to attend meetings and reward councillors who do not attend many meetings.
3. At a time when public opinion of payments to MPs and councillors is highly sceptical, the public perception might be that this is a ruse to bring in an increase in allowances through the back door.”
The Motion was seconded by Councillor K Edwards.
RESOLVED
That the Motion stand referred to the Independent Remuneration Panel.
4. Consideration was given to the following Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor S Hogben:
