At the next Combined Authority meeting on June 28 a paper will be brought forward with recommendations on the salary for James Palmer, who was elected into the post in May.

The recommendations have been made by an Independent Remuneration Panel who came to their decision based principally on the responsibilities of the elected Mayor.
