Council Salaries
Because "we are all in this together", no County Council nor Local Council should employ any Employee after 1 Aug 2015 at a salary greater than that which is paid to the Prime Minister i.e. roughly £145,000 per annum.
Why is this important?
Because the Tory government is happy to inflict so-called austerity on the poor people of this country, it's time they shared the burden. Those that lead from the front should do so by example, not by considering themselves to be exempt from the rules that apply to everybody else. For example the last Chief Executive of Essex County Council was on a £250k salary package.
