Harrow Council could appoint a series of assistants to help support senior councillors with their specific briefs in the borough.
A report set to be presented to the council’s cabinet tomorrow (Thursday, May 27) outlines plans to give eight councillors increased responsibilities for 2021/22.
If approved, these councillors could receive an additional allowance of £2,142 for taking the role.
However, since councillors can only have one extra allowance, in addition to their basic of £8,561, this might not be the case for all appointments.
Under the proposals, Cllr Angella Murphy-Strachan (Lab, Edgware) would support Cllr Christine Robson (Lab, West Harrow), who is responsible for children and young people, with corporate parenting.
