RUNNYMEDE Borough councillors are expected to adopt recommendations to increase their yearly allowance from £1,023 to £1,600 after advice from an independent panel.
The 42 members are due to vote on their allowances at the full council meeting on December 20. However, some councillors with additional responsibilities may get more.
The council would have to increase its budget for councillor allowances from £60,594 to £100,000 to meet the increased bill.
