TEESDALE District Council is seeking three people to form an independent remuneration panel to consider councillors' allowances.
The panel is part of an increased level of public scrutiny required by the Local Government Act 2000.
The panel will make recommendations to the local authority on its scheme of allowances and the amount of allowance payable to council members.
Candidates for the panel must not be a member of any principal local authority, and should be a council tax payer of the district. Anyone interested can contact Mike Dennis, director of administration at Teesdale District Council, on (01833) 696202.
