| Did anyone else read the following BBC News report ? 'An east London councillor has been announced as the next deputy mayor of London for environment and energy. Mete Coban, who is Hackney's cabinet member for climate change, environment and transport, as well as a councillor for Stoke Newington, announced the news on X, formerly Twitter. He said he was "honoured" to be appointed to the role by Sadiq Khan. Mr Coban will receive a salary of £147,769 and is due to start work in July'. I found the item intriguing and so wrote the following to our MLA Ms Leonie Cooper. 'Can you tell me where I can read his job spec and responsibilities ? You will be aware I am sure that he is now added to the list of 844 existing members of GLA staff for which Mayor Khan is responsible for appointing and deploying, that are paid more than £100,000 per annum (see below your response to my earlier query on GLA Salaries). (NB This correspondence from Ms Cooper earlier had provided me with the number and deployment of such staff). The salary of the London mayor is £154,963 and the prime minister's salary is £167,391. Do you think Mr Coban warrants a salary just 12% less than that of Keir Starmer ?' Is any other Forum reader as surprised as I am by these figures that surely must affect the GLA precept in our Council Tax ? And do they not weaken the case Mayor Khan is putting to the Labour Government for more central government funding ? |
