A new report by the Tax Payers' Alliance reveals that 3,106 council bosses in the UK are earning over £100,000 annually, sparking concerns about the correlation between high salaries and performance. Greenwich council stands out as the second highest in terms of staff earning six figures, leading to potential cuts in services like street cleaning and lollipop ladies. The revelation comes amidst widespread cuts in council services and a planned increase in council tax rates by 95% of councils.
BROKEN BRITAIN: Council services cut by record amounts and 95% of councils plan to raise their council tax by the maximum permitted. Meanwhile… ‘Number of council bosses on more than £100,000 is highest in almost a decade’ https://t.co/UG3lpONnKi
As Council’s axe lollipop ladies & close swimming pools to save cash, Town Hall bosses get ever increasing salaries and Council Tax continues to soar. My Local Govt Pay Accountability Bill will make councillors directly & transparently responsibly for ballooning salaries. https://t.co/RHEW2iXjWN
