" FIFE’S COUNCILLORS claimed a total of £1.45 million in salaries and expenses during the last financial year. The amount is an increase of £329,538 on the previous year but includes a month’s allowances paid to former councillors who stood down prior to the local government elections last May. The region’s 78 members now receive an annual salary instead of a basic allowance, as well as telephone allowances and the reimbursement of travel expenses incurred when on official council business. "
