This Committee:

(1) Councillor Meadows- Expenses

During the past year there have been reports and commentary in the local press

concerning the appropriateness of Brighton and Hove City Councillors’ expense claims.

This has led to loss of confidence among members of the public in the Council.

In order to restore public confidence, will the Chair initiate an Audit of Councillors’ Dependent Carer Allowance expenses claimed, including for the financial years ending 5 April 2020 and 5 April 2021?
