"North Ayrshire Council recognises that in light of the Mackintosh, Kerley and McNish Reports, the current system of Special Responsibility Allowances is outdated and can no longer be justified.

North Ayrshire Council further recognises that the Chairs of the four main Service Committees as well as the Leader, Depute Leader, Convener and Vice Convener of the Council hold posts that are onerous, time consuming and carry much responsibility and recognises that the holders of these posts should be entitled to increased levels of remuneration.

North Ayrshire Council accepts that in principle all of its Elected Members should be treated equally in every respect, irrespective of political party.


North Ayrshire Council instructs the Chief Executive to prepare a Report on Special Responsibility Allowances having regard to the findings of Mackintosh, Kerley and McNish and with a view to ensuring that, with the exception of the holders of the posts outlined in paragraph two above, all Elected Members of the authority are treated equally.
