Topic: Enormous Wandsworth Council Executive Salaries

What a revealing story in the Wandsworth Guardian this week. At this time of austerity, the combined salary of Wandsworth Council’s top eight executives has increased since last year to £1,819,084 per annum, with an average of £227,385. The Prime Minister’s salary is £197,689. The Chief Executive, who will retire this year, earns £356,891 including a £50,000 bonus, which will obviously be of great benefit to his index-linked, final salary, gold-plated, public sector pension. I doubt there would be such a generous consequential employee benefit at this point in a career in the private sector.
The Guardian carries the usual spin-filled justification from ‘a Council spokesman’. It would however be valuable and democratic if an elected councillor answered the following –
1)Have these salaries been approved by Chancellor George Osborne as was promised in the Conservative manifesto ?
2)Were these salaries agreed unanimously by the appropriate Council remuneration committee ?
3)What precisely did the Chief Executive achieve in his last year to warrant his £50,000 remuneration increase ?
4)Will the executive responsible for schools have his salary reduced, alongside presumably his responsibilities, as the Council’s plan to increase the number of independent Academies and ‘free’, parent run schools is executed ?
I will look on PutneySW15.com with interest for a councillor’s reply.
