The number of senior managers at County Hall has fallen from 38 to 29 in the last few years.

Sadly, our Labour-run council is still paying the Chief Exec seventeen times the pay of the lowest paid full time workers. And earlier this year Labour refused our Lib Dem call to introduce the living wage for staff so that they are paid £7.65 an hour!!

So Labour is happy to pay the Chief Exec over £100 an hour but can’t find the money to pay its lowest paid a decent wage despite having £100million in reserves. That’s not socialist, it’s certainly not liberal, and it’s an insult to hard working staff on low pay.
