Peter Burgess, who represents Holbrook West, told Horsham District Council leader Ray Dawe he did not think the position warranted a cabinet allowance.

Speaking at a meeting last week, Mr Dawe explained that Mr Burgess would stay on as an advisor on ‘matters pertinent to the town’.

Mr Dawe said: “I do not intend currently to replace that position.”

He thanked Mr Burgess for his hard work during his time as cabinet member.
