Council Pay Mix-Up and Fixes | UK News
Description
A major administrative blunder at town hall led to $107,111 in improper councillor payments—89 current and former members affected. Most got overpaid, with some receiving extra thousands; four were hit with over $5,000 each, and those debts are already settled. One former councillor received $8,461 too much. The council blames staff oversight, not elected officials, and has implemented stricter financial controls to prevent future errors. Repayments are ongoing, with legal action looming for non-responsive former members.
