Remuneration and related undertaking
Until May 2021 I was a Member Pioneer with The Co-operative (a Membership-led organisation involved in groceries, insurance, and funeralcare of Telford Retail Park, 74 Telford Street, Telford, Inverness, IV3 5LS). I received remuneration of up to £500 per annum and have received no remuneration since April 2021. I spent 4 hours per week on the role. [Amended interest 20 January 2022]
I am a Councillor with The Highland Council (of Glenurquhart Road, Inverness, IV3 5NX). I receive remuneration of between £15,001 and £20,000 per annum. I anticipate I will spend approximately 25 hours per week in the role. While I will continue to carry out the role, my councillor’s salary received after May 2021 will be donated to local charities.
