OPDC Board and Cllr Muhammed Butt

I see that Cllr Muhammed Butt has got himself on to the OPDC Board.  His remuneration is listed in the accounts as £17k a year for this.  This would be on top of his allowance as Council Leader and Brent Councillor. 

I take it that the level of remuneration is decided by the OPDC's Appointments and Remuneration Committee, which has three members, one of whom is Cllr Muhammed Butt.  Brent Council and the Mayor of London send observers to the committee, although other Boroughs such as Ealing do not.

Given Cllr Muhammed Butt's record on planning matters in Wembley, this picture does not fill me with confidence.
