Mid and East Antrim Council’s Policy and Resources Committee has agreed to pay an invoice for £37,520 to the Local Government Staff Commission, equivalent to 5.29 per cent of the Commission’s budget.

The Commission has defined its four key performance areas for 2015/16 as talent and development, recruitment and diversity, people strategies and corporate governance

According to a council report, the amount requested is a reduction of £1766 in comparison with the combined allocation for predecessor Councils in 2014/15.
