£170,000 doesn't seem so bad dedworth, looks like the external review was right

The council chiefs on more than £200,000 in salary and perks

I have no doubt that his £130k a year is probably less than a lot of Chief Executives .
However it's not that long ago that Rochdale Council failed miserably to protect the poor girls in the grooming case. It should also be remembered that senior council officers who presided over this case were allowed to take early retirement as opposed to facing disciplinary action all under the watchful eye of their chief executive.
Now is certainly not the time to be taking that sort of pay rise.

Local authorities take the Central Govt should be witholding funds from the overspenders. If the Chief Execs and fellow trough feeders feel they are underpaid then they ought to try to get a job in the private sector - they would soon find out no-one would hire them on their grossly over inflated wages

I know one of the Chief executives named left the job 3 years ago so at least I part of the information is out of date, so most probably are the figures.

They have to spend the sky high council tax on something.
I pay £2435.00 to have my bin emptied once a week, the libraries have reduced their services and it seems they are using low energy bulbs in the street lighting as the streets look so dim at night.

come on dedworth you're about a northern Chief exec who was on £130k, and an external pay review said he was underpaid, judging by your southern Tory cheif execs he was on half their pay

If he feels underpaid then he's quite at liberty to apply for a job elsewhere - how many less privileged workers in both public and private sectors have the luxury of their salary being reviewed by an "external body"

Oink oink

[joebloggs]

well he's not moaning, your the one moaning, why don't you go and complain to the fat cat Tory chief execs and ask them why they are getting paid £85,000 a year more than a northern Chief exec for doing the same job

I'm moaning about a system that allows a Labour Councillor to complain that his disgracefully run council are a bit low down the pay league table, engage £27000 outside consultants and then hand the Chief Exec a 30%/ £40k pay rise

- Rochdale’s Labour MP Simon Danczuk said Mr Taylor’s 30 per cent pay rise was indefensible.

so what do you call someone getting paid £255,000 then

Actually Joe I'd be equally mad whatever party was involved and whether it was north, south, east or west - it's a scandal that these leeches are paid 6 figure salaries

[SimonH]

This is how it goes:-

Labour politician............ look at all them lot, they get paid loads more than us, southern poofs, how can we get away with paying ourselves more
I know, we'll spend some of that money we're meant to save by getting some of them consultants in.
A month and £27000 later, aye up... them consultants we just gave 27 grand to say we need to be paid 30 grand more
Well it wasn't us was it, them consultants said we had to do it, totally disagree with it myself, disgraceful

[joebloggs]

that's one thing we both can agree on

i watched an episode of undercover boss, and i think it was about a chief exec of a council down south, a lot of long hours, stress and responsibility will the job

Know the executive concerned, mostly a 5 day week and copes with the stress well and enjoys all the functions.

Due to get study in Howard University I need visa to stay in America. I have no idea about any visa company and their rules and regulations. I need your help to get information about visa companies and law of education in America.
