Salary and Expenses

Over the weekend Dundee City Council published the salary and expenses returns for all elected members you can look at them here.  As you will see in the past year I have claimed the nationally agreed salary for councillors £16,233.96.  I have also used a mobile phone provided by the council which cost £154.66 in the past year.  This bill was paid by the council.  I am happy to answer any questions from constituents on my expenses.  As part of the agreement which came in prior to my election in 2007 the council is also called upon to publish details of the training which councillors undertake, the information is here, I have attended most of these training sessions.
