How Much Should the MD of Environment and Regeneration Earn From Your Taxes

mitchaa

Less than £350,000

I can't believe that payrise:eek:

2007-08 = £105k
2008-09 = £365k

Who on earth authorised that? I bet he couldn't believe his luck when he was sitting in his chair and told that his pay was going to rise by £260k.

Crazy

FATBALLZ

Less than £350,000

I am happy for anybody to 'earn' £365k a year. I'm not happy for somebody to be arbitrarily paid £365k a year out of my tax though, which is probably what we're looking at.

Cleaver

That £365k one is quite shocking, but I find the Assistant Head of Corporate HR at Glasgow Council on £195k just as unbelievable. I didn't know senior council managers earned this much.

What I would find useful is some broad stats which show the averages for these types of posts to firstly see how much extra these people are paid over the norm and what the average is. Oh, wait, that's the big list in there isn't it? A lot of the chief execs seem to earn around £100,000 which I don't think is an innapropriate salary for an innovative, creative, top-notch person to run a complex, large organisation. I think the main problem is that most of the people running councils are clearly not innovate, creative and top-notch people.

I worked for the local council for a few years on and off during my school holidays when at college and university. I used to be in charge of a kid's playscheme where local parents could drop their kids of for the day and we'd either play games, do arts and crafts and go on some trips to theme parks etc. I had a budget of about £3,000, was in charge of 6 staff, responsibility for a whole school building and looked after about 50 children per day between the ages of 5 and 11. And for this I seem to remember getting £5.30 an hour for a 35 hour week, which is about £9,600 per annum (this is from 1999 to 2003ish). I should have renamed myself Assistant Director of Children's Play Services and charged them £300,000 on a consultancy basis.
