Cheshire East councillors have voted to freeze their allowances until May 2021 – but still receive a basic allowance of more than £12,000 each.
The authority’s independent remuneration panel had recommended allowances, paid as compensation for time performing duties in their role, be increased.
George and Dragon hammered 13 passed Brighton Belle in the only Crewe Regional Sunday League game to survive the big freeze.
The match was able to go ahead after teams agreed to move it on to a 3G pitch with all other games off due to frozen grass surfaces.
A Nantwich councillor has criticised Cheshire East Council, claiming that “stealth tax” rises will counter any freeze in council tax rates.
Cllr Arthur Moran spoke out after Cheshire East announced a two-year freeze on council tax.
Nantwich residents will have council tax bills frozen for at least the next two years, Cheshire East Council has agreed.
The local authority is the first in the country to announce a two-year freeze.
