Derbyshire Council Scandal coming up?
« on: April 25, 2012, 06:44:03 PM »
Just saw this Tweet by Michael Broomhead, reporter with the DT

"So we're back in recession yet new data shows Derbyshire council chief execs pocketed pay and perks of almost £1m last year."

Can't wait until that hits the streets - unless Mr Broomhead gets silenced by our lords and masters...  :(



Apologies to any members re my current obsession with politics...  :-[

If politics wasn't so corrupt, scuse the phrase.
People wouldn't need obsessions about it.

I take that to mean all the CEOs of all the councils in Derbyshire. I think a chief exec's salary is in the region of £100k so it's probably about right if all councils are included.

Whether they deserve that level of salary is another matter - what do CEOs of companies employing similar workforces and having similar budgets earn, I've no idea.

It does say 'pay and perks' Pete so I guess not.
