In total, 43 councillors who served on the borough council received a combined total of £384,481 in allowances and expenses for the year.
That was up slightly on the previous year when the figure was £381,107.
The payouts are made up of basic allowances which all councillors are entitled to, special responsibility allowances for things like chairing committees, plus travel and subsistence expenses.
The breakdown was included in the council’s final financial report for 2022/23 which was approved by the audit and governance committee at their meeting in March this year.
